I have a simple classic tween, showing a piece of paper coming out of a printer. Simple enough, right? Here is a diagram. The motion goes like this, with ease in and ease out. [X] is a keyframe.
[x] -100 --> [X] +100 --> [X]
When I copy the frames and paste them into a new document, the piece of paper "jumps" and the tween is not calculated. It's mangled.
How can I copy multiple frames from one file to another and paste in place? For some reason when I do this flash pastes them to the left of where they need to be even though the stages are the same size.
View 5 RepliesBy default when I create a new motion tween, it automatically comprises all frames on the layer I want only a 72-frame tween, not a 350-frame tween.
View 2 RepliesWhen creating an animation with a classic tween sometimes I'd have to adjust all frames based on changing stage size and what have you. I'd usually park animations in mc's but even then I'd have to on occasion move the whole animation as whole, using the Edit Multiple Frames button on the Timeline. This is also needed when repurposing Flash ads for different sizes. Sometimes I have to adjust a few layers and leave some layers alone, again for Flash ads and alike.
When using a Motion or 3D tween I wanted to know if this was possible, not because I have a particular scenario but I wanted to see if I could do this in the event of needing to do so one day. I tried this feature and I was unable to move the whole animation as I would with a Classic Tween. The only thing I could do to achieve this was to park the Motion/3D tween into it's own mc and then drop that mc on the stage and move the mc as a whole. Is there any way to select all frames of the Motion Tween and move it as a whole without resorting to putting it in a mc (even though I get that it should always exist in a mc)?
Why is it that sometimes I can clear a keyframe and sometimes not. Not being able to clear a keyframe seems to happen when I copy and paste frames from more than one layer. The keyframe in the first layer copied can't be cleared.
View 1 RepliesWell, just as the subject line implies, I need to duplicate frames within one of my movie clips, at runtime. Nothin' fancy, just take the frame that's already in the movie clip, and make a second frame identical to the first one, also within the movie clip. I'm using AS2.0, Flash 9. Here's what I'm currently trying (this code is on the main timeline, which also contains the movie clip in question):
with (this.scoreCardPage) {
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().copyFrames();
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().pasteFrames(_root.curPage);}
"scoreCardPage" is the name of the movie clip, "curPage" is the variable indicating the point on the movie clip's timeline where the copied frame should be pasted. I haven't done runtime timeline manipulation before. Anyway, the code, she no a-work. When I run, my movie clip maintains only the frame that I built it with, and does not gain any more. Internet searches pertaining to the inner workings of runtime copying and pasting of frames have been gloriously unproductive.
I havve accidently created extra unneeded key frames in a layer, in the middle of motion tween. I was wondering how to change these keyframes, without deleting them so not to change the length?

View 28 RepliesI've got a dynamic text field that has embedded fonts. When I copy it from one file to another, the pasted text field loses it's embedded checkmarks. I have to open up the embed menu and reselect the appropriate embed keys.
The problem is that this text field is inside a component that many of my coworkers use several times / day in many assets. We just jumped to CS5.5 from 4 and text is now disappearing. I've tracked it down to this issue, but don't know how to resolve it. There's NO reason this dynamic text field should be losing it's embedded..
its a door make up of 8 segments, im trying to animate it by making it open and close equaly,each door segment. but my segment is distorting because im doing each one segment bt segmet.is there a way to achieve this in flash?

View 1 RepliesSo i have a menu. The menu consists of 5 menuitems. When a menuitem is selected it has a gray background. This gray background will animate smoothly between the menuitems on selection. I have a movie clip of this node morphing through 5 keyframes to each menuitem.

View 0 RepliesI hav created 24 frames (i use 24fps) by hand depicting a small move.Now I need to repeat this move for 1 minute and move it from left to right through the screen.is there a way to avoid copying-pasting these 24 frames and chaning them a little to the others 59 seconds by using motion tween?So, iam looking for a way to combine both the 24 frames and apply motion tween to them.

I will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.
View 2 RepliesI am facing a problem in one of my animation with flash CS4 - I have nested a Shape Tween in a Motion tween to get more control over the easers and effects, unfortunately I am not able to view on the timeline of my Motion Tween the action of the Shape tween nested inside.
It only show the first shape of the Shape Tween during the entire Motion Tween and that is really a problem for me because I need to see the final frame result of that Shape tween to be able to position it in a precise way on my scene according to other instances.

I'm making a "master movie" for an assignment and I'm stuck right now. What I've got is an Intro page that will serve at the Parent.swf to load 4 other child swf's upon a mouse click. The problem is I have a theater stage where I tweened an animation to make it appear the curtain on the stage is going up but once it reaches it maximum height....the tween abruptly stops. I want it to HOLD there until a user clicks a button.
How would I make this happen? Here is the page in question: [URL]...
I want to alpha tween (ease in from 0 to 1) an object on stage over 25 frames. And after the tween is over i want the object to persist on the stage and in the timeline. How can i do that?afaik i have to extend the tween in the timeline beyond the keyframe with 1 alpha. But when i do that this also extends the time of the tween from 0 to 1 and it actually lowers the alpha 1 in the keyframe automatically to some figure that fits with the ease in which apparently spans the entire tween.
View 8 Repliesway to add more time in between the keyframes when you are using the "create motion tween" tween. For example I have a simple animation, an object floating up, it pauses for a second, then goes to the right. Say I finish tweening the animation, I then want the object to take more time moving to the right. So pretty much i want to add more frames inbetween those two keyframes. In a classic tween, I would select the frames in between and hit f5 a few times to lenhthen it. How can I do that using the new tweening method?

I accidentally clicked an area on the timeline that made all the frames to the right of the layers disappear. I've gone through all the menus including VIEW and WINDOW where I thought I would be able to make the frames appear and can't find it anywhere! I've docked and un-docked, moved around the timeline and still can't get the frames back. Adobe HELP couldn't help me. How do I get the frames to get back to the right of the layers?

View 2 RepliesI have a movie that I have been working on.There is a simple animation/intro and then a main frame with several buttons set up to jump ahead to other frames.There are 4 buttons and they all work just fine and go to the respective frame with no problems.
My problem is in trying to add a button to one of those frames. I can't get any button to work on any of those frames at all. I tried to add a "home" button that jumps back to the main frame, but that wouldn't work. So, I tried to copy the main frame and move it ahead on the time line but that didn't work either. I tried to add buttons for the other frames as well and no button would work (regardless of where it was referenced) on those other frames.Here is the error message I keep getting:
