Strange line artifacts when exporting SWF

Hi,
I am getting some strange line artifacts when exporting an SWF on this particular project. Artifacts are not present when exporting .MOV. Does anybody have any ideas?

Im using Anime Studio Pro 8.1

.anme and swf are attached.

Thank you much for any assistance.

I was having the same issue and other general weirdness with the swf format. I came here looking for answers.

Have you tried turning on ass extra SWF frame in your project settings?

No. I will try that, thanks!

I have had some luck with eliminating some other layers. It works much better now, but there is still that horizontal line that shouldn't be there.

Yes, I tried it as well, not an expert on swf export, maybe someone more experienced with that format will jump in and help further more!

No, that didn't quite fix it. I got rid of the horizontal line by deleting the shape that was causing it. And it seems to wipe the slate clean after playing, but not before the eyes move off the face, things disappear and are redrawn in the wrong order (legs on top of dress).

I'll try again.

I shortened the animation to 90 frames which seems to avoid the weirdness happening. Now it plays, although slowly, but the character disappears for a second at the end before it loops.

Better than nothing I guess.

Generally horizontal lines in swf export are caused by bad fill shapes. Normally I delete the fill, then select all points and use the merge points script ( AS5.6 ) then refill the shape.

Cheers

Problem definitely is in the mouth shapes, I turned those off and it rendered flawlessly.

As DK pointed, you need to do some cleaning in that area!

Had a closer look at your mouth shapes.

They are very chaotic, much overlapping of the cps.

I did a quick redraw of some of the mouth shapes and it now renders perfect.

You should keep your shapes as clean as possible, with as little control points as possible as it renders better and faster!

Ahhh. So it was my double line mouth shapes that cause the problem. Thank you so much GCharb. That was extremely kind of you to solve that problem and do that work for me. Have a great week!
