Symbol glitching in Animate

Heya. I have never came in contact with this problem before, but in my recent animation I have noticed some glitching with the lip sync. The symbols apparently, according to the file, are colored, which makes me confused why this is happening.

The video can be found here, as the in post video links are messy-

what - YouTube

Please help!

What kind of symbols are you using? Movieclip or graphics? For lipsyncing its best to use the graphic symbol.

Make sure your graphic symbol is not looping. Use the framepicker to choose the mouth for the frame.

here is a tutorial to help as well.

Thank you! It took awhile to convert each individual frame to graphic symbol, but it worked!

Hmmm - yes I see what I think you are referring to. Hard to say why but maybe there are multiple layers and some are turned off/invisible? Can you upload the FLA somewhere?

Sure thing, but am pretty sure none are invisible. Sorry my files are so messy.

I watched the video but not sure what is wrong. What do you mean by "...The symbols apparently, according to the file, are colored, ..."?

Sorry if i explained poorly. If you look closely at the lip sync positions, especially at the beginning. When Robin says "from the teen titans" you can see the mouth is switching to a non colored "f or v" position for the mouth. it does not show this in the animate file.

This type of stuff keeps continuously happening throughout the animation
