Does any one have any suggestions for how I could make this rotating globe look
more realistic:

For some reason, the map moving over the edges of the globe looks fake to me
but I'm not sure how to fix it. Thanks.

Someone's made a circular bevel that's semi-transparent and placed it on top of
a masked flat map which tweens from right to left. That's why it's not
believable. The continents are not changing shape as they "rotate" around the
globe. It's a quick fix but not a convincing animation.

I'm not sure there is much you can do unless you import the frames (minus the
bevel) into Illustrator or Photoshop and individually apply a bloat filter to
each. Then reimport them back into Flash as frame-by-frame animations. Or...

Go to istockphoto.com and purchase a more realistic animation. :)

Good luck!
