Why does "alpha" seem to squish images?

Every time I do a fading effect, flash seems to squish the images in and out. Looks crap.

The squish effect is due to the movie clip images being different sizes. standardise the size of the images and the squish will disappear.

Im trying to fade one image in from 0 alpha to 100 then it holds then back down to 0 before it goes to next image. When I use a .jpg file as the image it puts a small shift in the middle of the images at keyframe areas. the image size does not change, but the shift is still evident, take a look (show takes a few minutes to go through but youll see the images that are the problem). Let me know.

 
Re. url.
Take a look, feedback would be ...

Don't see any problems the effect is caused by the on screen redraw you could try to speed the movie up to say 36 fps or make the fade in shorter... or as with a lot of flash work try to optically fool the end user, e.g. as one image starts to fade out start the next images fade in...
 
The pixel shift is a Flash glitch. Instead of fading up to 100%, fade to 99%. That will get rid of that annoying little shift.
