Upload a simple example of something you made that isn't smooth enough.

In general, most of the actionscript based animations I've seen posted on this board tend to use 1 of 4 different styles of movement.

1. Linear movement. This is by far the most common by newbies (cause it's easy to do) and it looks the the jerkiest. Especially when starting and stopping.

_x += k;

(where k is a fixed number).
I am trying to create a smooth linear animation; and, I was wondering if the linear equation would be smooth instead of jerky or did I misunderstand Jbum's statement.

Thanks,
