Re: FLASH: drag movie not moving - please help

[Cheri Harder]

Jonathan:


Take the Drag movie & Stop drag actions out of there.  Those are for

mouse-click-on-movie to drag it.  For simple motion tween, you just do the

first steps you mentioned.  I think your movie clip should both travel

across the screen AND play that way...at least when you "test movie" it

should!!!  (movie clips don't play when you hit return to play)

> What I did:

> 1. created movie clip (13 frames)

> 2. placed clip on stage at the desired starting point at frame 1 (in

> 3. created a keyframe at frame 30 and moved the clip to centre-stage.

> 4. created a motion tween (deselected tween scaling) and set rotation

> 5. set 'start drag' action at frame 1 and specified the clip instance

name.

> 6. set 'stop drag' action at frame 30.

> What happens:

> - When I hit return to play the movie, it simply moves across stage,
