weird problem..........
when i have used the hide edge tool on a shape and i then preview or render my image i can see a fine white line round the outline of the shape in which i have tried to hide......
so how can i hide the edge of a shape properly so that this outer line is not visible
thanks in advance!
hide edge tool leaves a white outline when previewed???

This is a problem in AS regarding anti aliasing.
It also happens in other situations. I am assuming the white line is over some other color? I get this as well. I think that AS is trying to anti-alias the non existent edge of color against what is behind it. This would cause a few lighter pixels to appear causing the line.
You can check the "gap filing" box in the "Vectors" tab of the layer properties. This may help somewhat although I still get an even thinner white line... thinner but still visible.
The only "perfect" solution is to render with out anti aliasing at a much larger size than you need, then size the final out put down to what you need.

There is another possibility, depending on what exactly you are seeing.
You can end up with multiple layered fills, particularly if you are still using Moho instead of Anime Studio or possibly using Fazek's great tools in AS. You can also achieve the same thing in standard AS, but it takes a little more effort.
If you have mutliple layered fills, you might be seeing the lower fill on external edges - often the default white fill.
To check this, click on the fill with the Select Shape tools (the white bean with a black umbrella). The fill should change to a small checkerboard, and you should be able to see through it. If it changes to a checkerboard you can't see through, you probably have a multi-layered fill.
