Strange gap in image

[Unknown User]

I have created a Flash animation for this web site:
[url]http://www.bonardi.com.br[/url], but if you look carefully at the background
forest photo, as it is moving, there is a strange "ugly" effect: the left
part of the photo seems to get in and out of the right part. It is really
strange because the first time this happened, I decided to re-create the
animation from scratch, and now, I have the same problem.
Any idea?
Thanks,

Looks like the infamous bitmap shift problem that has been there for years
and years and is still not fixed.

Do a search in Macromedia support area on bitmap shift and find all the
strange things you can try to do to see if it fixes the problem.

Another way around this and may provide nice results is to save the image as
a PNG with alpha fades on the sides and overlap the images, this will help
make it seamless and reduce the visual effect of the images moving.

Problem is where the ugly effect happens is in the middle of the image, it
is not in the boundaries of two images one next to the other. It is a
large photo that goes from left to right and stops. There is no loop.

Yeah, always use PNG source -- never use JPG... set compression to an
odd number, like 77% quality, in your export settings. Use an odd
numbered framerate, like 31... Also, DO NOT use motion tweens, code the
animation using the tween class transition, or an old school function.

The pixel shift is a bug that occurs when you try to motion tween a
bitmap at an even framerate... took me awhile to figure this one out.

forgot to add -- turn your PNG image into a movie clip and set the alpha
to 99%... this eliminates the jitters.
