After laying my hands on Macromedia Flash little further, I've just made a flash banner.

I've got a "skimmer" effect playing as a "mask" in the background, which can ONLY be seen when someone rolls the mouse over it, exactly just as I want.

I've converted text to button (so as to have mouse over effect), then again to Movie clip, so as to have the final animation.

Problem is when the effect plays, the (part of) text itself, for some unknown reason, disappears for a split second, something that I really don't want. I rather want a SMOOTH animation, instead of shaky, as it appears to be now.

My page can be seen on: http://members.lycos.co.uk/darsh25/p...te/contact.php

while this banner related file could be seen on:

Can anyone help ???
