Re: FLASH: Movie Clip

[Renu Vora]

Thanks.....that helped. But I got another silly problem. I created a movie clip, tested the scene/movie & the animation if fine. But when I add this movie clip to the main movie, which has some other animation going on, the movie clip does not run. Only the first key of MC appears & then it disapperas. What is it that I am missing here?

 

One more silly question, is there a way to save an instance from disappearing from the stage when it is being transformed -> rotated or flipped? Let us say I want the instance to stay where it was, but just rotate it....how is this achieved?

it must be a symbol already before it can have an instance to modify. If
starting on the main stage, select the graphics that will be the basis for
the movie clip, hit F8, and define the symbol.  Or, with nothing selected,
hit F8 to begin creating the symbol in symbol edit mode.
