Smoothing out the steps on diagonals

I did an interesting test last night. I produced two similar pieces of
animation of a plane flying across the sky from right to left. One of
these was produced in Flash, the other with Photoshop and After
Effects. When I brought these into my editing programme the Flash plane
suffered from stepping around the edges as it moved, but if I stopped
it half way through playing, gave me a lovely still, and smooth [though
a bit blurred] edged image. [although if I got the computer to show me
just one static field it is noticeably stepped - it seems to be
combining two stepped images to make one smooth/blurred edged image].

The plane produced in Photoshop and animated in After Efeects gave an
excellent image when it moved but when I stopped it the image pulsated
between the two fields [as you would expect]. I hadn't noticed this
before but it made realise that the Flash material doesn't seem to be
field interlaced properly. Any ideas how to solve it.
