Hi there, been using flash for a while now but im having big problems in sorting this MAJOR problem out:
It goes as follows.
The movie found at: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.ronguy.co.uk/fla/help.sfw[/url]
is a preview of the problem
Basically i need to fade 1 gradient in over the top of another to give the appearance of the screen getting darker, however when i do so it produces these awful grainy lines across the page where the colours are changing.
How it is done is a simple fade in with the new gradient on an above level using alpha tween.
I have tried a number of things to rectify this problem, these are as follows:
Use jpeg images of the gradient instead of the flash vector shapes,
Tryed to fade the lighter layers out instead of fading darker in.
Tryed using the blur filter on the whole clip.

Need to know if there is any way to make this a really smooth transition, action scripts maybe? or different blending options, i dont know. Somebody help please.

Fla file available also at: Thanks guys.
