scene or movie in which you want to display that layer.  It sounds like you

have the image set up in a key frame in frame 1, but no blank frames

following the key frame, so the SWF will only display the image for one frame.

It is an image, and I do have that layers' length set on the timeline (it

is followed by 900 blank frames) for the entire duration of the movie.

Also - I tried adding a key frame at the end of the movie on that layer, I

tried making that the longest layer on the timeline by one frame.  I tried

having tween from itself to itself.  None of these has worked. I tired

breaking the image into parts.  (I'm baclk to whole image)  I appreciate

the answers thaough, it has made me try some new things.  One of them is

bound to work soon! (i hope)  Nothing else is on that layer.
