How did I do this? lol

Okay, I'm still working on this movie, so please don't be too hard on me about it right now. Needs a preloader, and the movie is just not finished.. but, I was TRYING for an effect on the headstone image, and I GOT that effect, but purely by accident, and I want to know HOW I did this so I can recreate it again later when I need to....

What I was aiming for is a slight wiggly, jiggly, jerky, shaky, sort of subtle (yet spaztic) movement to make the headstone look "alive" somewhat. And, the harder I tried to make that happen, the less I would get that effect. Well, I ended up playing with that layer so much that, well, I ended up with that effect out of the blue.

Can you guys take a look and tell me how I got the headstone to move like this?? I will probably want to use that effect again later...

Oh, and remember, no preloader, so hopefully you wont have to wait long for the movie to load....

how high is your fps? and is there any kind of tween on the stone?

if so slow tweens and slow fps can make an image kind of fragmented.

Yeah, that is a pretty odd effect... as master_phat said, you do get something similiar on slow motion tweens...

It's really weird, but I was trying to get that effect! lol Thing is, what I was trying wasn't working, and I must've done "something" to suddenly make it do that. Good in one sense, bad in another, because I don't know what it is that I did.

fps is set to 30. Actually, I think there is a tween on the stone. What I experimented with originally is trying to get the stone to wiggle and shake slightly from side to side, but it didn't work, so I undid the movement---but forgot to remove the tween. Maybe that's it? A tween where there's no actual movement?? There's a keyframe at the beginnning and at the end (don't think there's any in the middle--I cleared the keyframes that i was using to try and create that effect).
