Smart animation blinks after switching frames

As the video shows, when I drag frame1 up and down, the secondary frame that opens in blue flickers before homing in, what is the reason for this and what is the solution. (My English is not very good, so I use a translation program, please understand if you can’t read it well)Thank you all!
如视频所展示，我在frame1上下拖动时，打开蓝色的次级frame会闪动，然后才归位，请问大家这是什么原因呢，有什么解决办法。（This is the original Chinese version of my question）

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. Thanks for adding the English explanation that we are supporting, which is helpful.

As Smart Animate is reliant on Layer name and hierarchy, how about changing the frame names to unique ones?

I tested on my end with new unique frame names, and it looks it’s working fine as above. You can learn from the help center article more, so let me share it with you:

I hope it helps, but if if you have any further questions, please feel free to post here!

Thanks,
Toku

Thank you! With your method, I managed to achieve the correct animation so far! Thank you very much, and please don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions afterward!

Hi, please watch the video, I found no problem in my previous frame attempt; but when I tried to reproduce it with a new frame a new problem occurred, with consistent frame naming. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong

Hi thanks for the post again! Would you be able to explain the problem in detail? I hope to understand the behavior you’re expecting.

Thanks,
Toku

@202131114020025 hello! stepping in for @y_toku – I reviewed the recording along with the prototype you provided, and this is hard to investigate further, unfortunately. I am trying to compare your behavior in the recording vs. what I see in the prototype, but I’m not able to replicate. When I open your prototype example, nothing seems to flicker or jump. This doesn’t mean it isn’t an issue, though.

At this point, I’m going to recommend you reach out to our support team – I think this needs more investigation that is out of scope for us here on the forum.
