View 1 Repliesim trying to create a tamagotchi game type game. For some reason i can not add any items to the stage.Currently i have imported 2 png images to the stage and coverted them to movie clips.

I've been given a complete soundtrack, about 15 minutes long, complete with background music and dialog.I'm animating the whole thing as once scene so that I can keep all the dialog synced up. My question is, what's the best way to organize my animation?The way I've been doing it, I try to keep my objects on their own layers organized into folders, but even so I end up with a very large and confusing amount of stuff in the layers.But should I just be cutting the soundtrack into scenes and animating the movie using scenes instead?I've never actually used scenes.If I cut the soundtrack how would I avoid audio glitches when the whole animation plays back?

View 7 RepliesI would like to animate an object (a circle for example) in motion tween, but with the effect of leaving trace/trail as it progresses throughout the stage. I'd like it to look exactly as in the last frame when the option "onion skin" is pressed/marked (with "onion all" checked/marked, for all the frames). So, once again, I'd like to get this effect but in motion, because it occurs/is viewable only in last frame.
