visual effects & player objects

[Yennie at aol.com]

I found some rumbling in the archives about this, but nothing conclusive:
How can I (or can I) use a visual effect to go to a card with a player object 
on it? Every combination I can think of results in transitioning to an empty 
card and then having the player object jump onscreen at the end. Or, I can 
make it flicker somewhere in between. Has anyone solved this? The best 
solution I could come up with was to create images of the poster frames of 
each movie, transition to those, and then show the player. Eck!

BTW, any official word on whether all of the player object redraw bugs are 
going to be stomped in 2.4.2?
