Changing Fill Causes a 'Blink'

[scriptmunkee]

Hi,

 

Sorry for the low level question but please could you ELI5 why the ligtning bolt blinks before it changes colour.

 

Its something id obviously like to try and avoid. Just not sure what im doing wrong per se

 

Thanks in advance

 

edit: Looking at it on here (appears clearer for some daft reason (probably im paying more attention)) I take it the fill is coming in from 0 opacity?

I think that's because you're animating from a gradient to a solid. This thread may help.

Perfect thank you!
