Re: FLASH: animating with Actionscript

[Cheri Harder]

It does seem like I've seen something about this being a problem, but was

unable to locate anything on the MM Technotes.  Seems like it has something

to do with rounding (and I do realize you are starting the same distance

both times...).  Perhaps you could either start your "left" position a 10th

or .5 or something off from where it is, or change your division to be by 2

instead of 3, so there is not the rounding problem?
