Object with Motion Path Disappears On Layers

Question

I have placed an image on the stage that I want to move from one object to another. (In this case, a "cookie" to move from a website image to a computer image.)

I have placed the cookie image on top layer, and on top of the web site image.

I have set up a motion path to move the cookie to the computer.

When I preview, the cookie image literally disappears, in a "wipe" motion.

I moved the cookie image to a plain area on the stage, and it moved just fine. It disappears only when layered with the other images, even though it is the top layer. There is no "white space" that I should be dealing with on any of the images. The backgrounds are transparent.

Any ideas?

I converted the image to PNG, and the entire image turned bright red during the animation. It looks like a masking issue to me.

I'm okay with the white background (I left it in with the last import, so there's no transparency in the example I showed above), but the image actually moves out of the boundaries of the graphic.

I've done motion paths before -- never had this happen.

Slide can be corrupted, or the image. Can you try this in a blank new project?

Although I deleted the cookie image several times and re-imported it, I was never able to get this to work with that image.

Interestingly, I tried another cookie image (chocolate chip instead of gingersnap LOL), and the second image worked perfectly. So, possibly something about the image that corrupted it? Very strange.

So, I guess the solution is that the image was corrupted or something about the image was the problem.
