hey folks, I'm new to cs3 and I'm trying to simply make an animation where some
text scrolls across the stage. the stage is 800x100 set to 30pfs. I created a
graphic element with a long line of text then set it into a movie clip that
simply moves from the bottom of the stage to the top, and scales in size as it
reaches the center then returns to normal size at the top.

As it scales the text is as jittery as if it was 3pfs....it makes no sense to
me why this is so jittery? I read one post about using something called
Tweener, but I don't really understand what that is or how to implement it.

any help is greatly appreciated.

you can either tween with the timeline or actionscript. if you tween with
actionscript there are many ways to procede including using your own
onEnterFrame or setInterval loop (assuming this is as2) or one of the tween
classes (like tweener) or flash'es native tween class.

because you started on the timeline, you may want to learn how to create a
smooth tween there: extend the frames in the tweens timeline so the change
from one frame to the other is relatively small.

increasing the framerate will not smooth your tween. but as you increase the
timeline of your tween to increase smoothness you will notice your tween taking
longer and longer to complete. to counter that (if it doesn't fit your
design), increase the frame rate.

well I tried increasing the fps to 60, and stretched out the animation...no
improvement..here's a very basic example of what I'm doing, and what I get as
the results.

as you can see it's terribly basic, but for whatever reason it is choppy as
all get. Thanks for your help.

Your type settings need to be:

Static Text
Anti-alias for animation

Set without static text - http://www.lsgym.com/test/test.html
Set with static text - http://www.lsgym.com/test/test2.html

That should fix your problem.

Both are 30 fps
