Horizontal movements sometimes produce a visual effect called "faring" (sp?). This results in the apparent flashing of artwork. This is the same effect which makes tires on moving cars sometimes appear to move backwards.

There are no hard and fast rules about preventing a faring effect except to change the speed and/or the direction of your artwork until it looks right. Sometimes changing the background artwork - eliminating strong verticals or large variations in color - can help.

I'd slow your animation down - try it at 8 or 10 fps, or try putting it on a diagonal.
