Symbols Keep Distorting During Tween?

This didn't happen with my last project. I have saved all my layers as symbols and connected them together. However, whenever I try to move a symbol (like the head or eyebrow) the tween distorts it like crazy and then skips back to normal at the end of the tween. I don't understand what's happening? Please help. Is this a glitch in Animate or my file?

    Make sure your registration points are in the same spot for each from. If not that could be your issue.

    Thanks. When you say registration points what do you mean? The anchor/hinge points for the symbols? And each from-- what do you mean by this?

    Yes the anchor point. The little white dot. You have to use the transformation tool to see it.

    what do you mean by, "I have saved all my layers as symbols..."?

     

    and what do you mean by, "...and connected them together."?

    I mean each layer is a bodily feature (head, eyes, mouth, torso, shoulder, arm etc) and it is all successfully parented to each appropriate body part.

    I have discovered an update is available, so perhaps that is the issue.
