Professional :: Converted Symbol Can't Be Pasted Into Keyframe: Motion Tweening
Jul 24, 2010
I have two files one is called tween_start.fla and the other is called tween_end.fla I am trying to create a motion tween where the animation begins at tween_start.fla and ends at tween_end.fla Each file consists of 7 shapes (it's a tangram if you're curious). At frame 10 of the tween_start.fla timeline I right-click on each layer and do Insert Blank Keyframe. Then I go to tween_end.fla click on a shape and do Modify>Convert to Symbol. Then I go back to the timeline for tween_start.fla, right-click on frame 10 and do Paste Frames or Insert Keyframe. If I do Paste Frames with all of the symbols I've created in tween_end.fla then the shapes end up stacked on top of each other. If I do Insert Keyframe it doesn't insert the symbol I've just created, instead it just keeps the same shapes that were at the first frame of tweet_start.fla. So how do I insert the symbols from tween_end.fla into the tenth frame of tweet_start.fla and then execute a motion tween between the frames?

I'm getting the following error: Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol. I don't have any ungrouped shapes (it's all text), each layer has 5 instances of only one symbol (keyframes), no objects are grouped and text is all static text.
When watching the animation, the first word (web) looks fine, on the second word (design) the tween fails on the last couple of frames of that clip (the blur filter disappears), the third word (and) is OK, and on the forth word (development) the blur filter is not applied to the last 16 frames of that clip.I broke each animation into its own MC thinking that was causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything.

I have a VERY big animation, with a huge amount of keyframes, and I like to swap a symbol in this animation with another one. If I just use the swap button on the first frame, Flash only swaps the symbol for the first tween, whereas I have hundreds of tweens in my file... So how do I do this for every keyframe in every tween ?

I have created a motion tween to fade in a symbol on the stage. I have set a there is a diamond keyframe marker at the point where the alpha of the symbol goes to 100%. I want to be able to drag that marker to a later point on the motion tween span (not sure if I have my terminology right here) but I find that I cannot -- I have to delete the keyframe and recreate it at the point where I want it.

Is there no way to do this from the timeline? I have a layer on the timeline with a MovieClip. It's set for motion tweening. On Frame 30 it has a keyframe for all tween properties ( rotation, scale, position, etc ).I want to copy those and set them on frame 1 using the Timeline editor.

Everytime I want to insert frames or keyframes after a tween, from whereon the object should rest, it is just enlarging my tween. How can I finish the tween and go on with normal keyframes and frames?

I created an animation of a wildfire progression which includes 31 hourly perimeters showing the fire spreading. I created motion tweens 24 frames long for each perimeter and tweened the alpha from 0% at the beginning of the tween to 100 % at the end of the tween. Each tween is the same number of frames, and same frame rate, and all in the same scene. when the animation starts each perimeter is displayed for about 1 second, by the time the animation reaches near the end, the perimeters and durations are almost 6 seconds long. I want each to display for the same amount of time. It looks like the tween is adjusting its length to accommodate for the magnitude of change occurring in the scene.

The problem i'm having with the new motion tweening is trying to make the last frame of the animation exactly like the first one. I need to do this because i'm trying tocreate smooth looking walk/run/breathing etc animation cycles. How do you make the final frame of the loop match the first frame of it?

I'm working on some fairly detailed character animations, and accordingly have made most of the characters parts into graphic symbols. For instance, his hand is a graphic symbol which has multiple frames for each perspective or pose of the fingers, and I set the symbol to the proper frame in the characters main timeline. I've been having issues, however, when tweening these symbols. I noticed this first when I was working on a jump animation and I just wanted the hand, once its pose is in a state which will be used for the majority of its frames, to tween up and rotate with the arm and body. When I create this tween, however, it forces all other frames of that graphic symbol to be set to that same frame. The start and end frames of the tween are set to the same first frame, and even after trying to manually fix the subsequent frames of the symbol, it wont let me. I've triple checked all my symbol names, frame numbers and settings, and anything else I can think of and everything is in place, so I really have no clue why this is happening

I have motion tween of 100 frames. The motion tween path on the stage shows me Keyframes at every 5 frames i.e. it shows keyframe of 5,10,15,20 and so on till 100. No issues with that at all. But when trying to motion tween the duration to 99 frame or even lesser the entire motion tween path shows me each and every Keyframe on the stage which becomes so cumbersome to handle as then I have to manage all the keyframes on the stage. Whereas, when it is 100(just a frame more) it starts showing a different display. How can I have to same display if I were to reduce the motion tween to 99 or less, in that instance it is much easier to ease the frames in my animation. Is there any setting which controls this? I am using Flash Professional CS5.0

I would like to create a polygon that changes its shape (circle, trapezium, square, rectangle, triangle) based on specific buttons that the user clicks? An existing shape has to be able to morph into all the others. For instance, the trapezium has to morph to a square, circle, rectangle or triangle.
If I were to create each transition manually, I would end up with 5x4=20 scenes. Is there a way that I can just assign each shape to its own frame, and deploy actionscript to set in motion the transitions from one frame to the 4 other possible frames? I am very grateful to anyone to just point me in the right direction,

I have spent many frustrating hours trying to figure out why this is happening. It is totally broken. I need to use a motion path using 3d in a symbol. Because of the way the project is put together (for Flex) there are several FLAs that need to be converted to symbols.
So when I convert the FLA that contains a motion path with 3D, the object moves away from the path in the symbol (the 1st frame remains in place, but everything else is off the path), even though it remains correct in the main timeline.
And once I start editing the object in the symbol, the object returns to the path ok, as if it had been some strange display issue, but the 3D is all wrong - the vanishing point relative to the object has changed. The same thing happens whether I create the 3D path using "global" or "local" tool settings.

All I'm trying to do is move one graphic (converted to symbol) from one side to another. However, when I try to put in the 'motion tween' it keeps saying "Multiple objects are selected, you must convert them to a symbol in order to tween them. Do you want to convert them and create a tween?" If I click 'Ok' it comes up with "The tween could not be applied to some of the selected frames. This could be due to the frame containing ActionScript, Multiple objects, non-tweenable objects or being on a layer that cannot be a tween layer"

I have made a tween using the new tween feature in CS4. I would like the tween to end on an exact copy of the original key frame so that it will loop seamlessly but I just cant figure out how to do this. I am unable to just recreate the keyframe because the object has rotated and moved to much to. I can do this with a classic tween but cant achieve the same effect.

I'm sure this is a ridiculously simple question, but it's one that's giving me a ton of trouble. I just switched to CS4 and cannot seem to figure out how to insert more time between motion tween keyframes. Basically, i have a motion tween that starts on frame 30 and has a property keyframe at 35 and 40. I want to move the keyframe to 36 and keep the other at 40. It seems so simple and used to be. I used to just be able to select the keyframe and drag it to the position I want.

I tried to refresh my little flash knowledge -- but I stumbled upon a problem with the new Flash CS4!
When I try to make different blur or alpha effect on one keyframe I got after making the motion tween -- Flash adjust the other keyframe as well (got the same reaction on both keyframes as if it was the same instance of movie clip -- and not as in old flash; the keyframes created separated or independent instances)
The only thing working for me is when I move the movie clip out of the stage on the first keyframe -- and it correctly move its position.

I understand that motion tween is a new form of tween in CS 4 however I am unable to move a keyframe within the time line? am I missing something? I would hope I could select the keyframe (diamond shape) and move it around the timeline but apprently Im missing something.. I am not able to do a cut and copy either... is this normal behavior?

So i have several items on a page, each of which tweens out or in depending on a mouse event. So far i can do Easing on them when they are going out/in but how do i also set up a tween so that it blurs as the come in and out (motion blur) like the ones in the motion presets. I want to accomplish the same motion preset settings but with Actionscript.

I am a flash user who used old version in the past and purchased new flash CS4 professional come with Adobe design premium recently. Now my problem is when I tween two symbol I cannot see any tweening between. I have created keyframe1 and insert my graphic, then converted to symbol. Then I click on F6 at timeline 50 and create motion at middle. But I only can see the effect at keyframe 1 and key frame 50. I cannot see any slowly tweening effects at all. Do I did something wrong?

I need to create an Flash animation that simulates dots moving like 'flocks' between different areas of the stage. I've created an image to show you what I mean:
*edit* Don't have 50 posts yet, so I can't show you visually what I mean
My idea is to create a symbol that starts red and goes black when a tweening shape 'touches' it. That way I can create a 'flocking birds' movement effect without having to manually change each symbol for each frame (I would just animate the shape around the stage and the dots would turn black when touched by the shape and return to red when not).

I used the liquid Flash layout file from this site , but i got one problem.I placed the script in a layer called actionscript and on frame 1, under it there is a other layer called background. I placed in just a square with a gradient color and made it a movieclip. I also placed this on frame 1. Everything is working perfect from this point but when i want to place a keyframe on frame 10 in the background layer and make a motion tween so that the background fades in from 0 opacity to 100, it doesn't work.

I am fairly new to flash and I'm currently using CS4 to create shape tweens that morph from a shape (in my case an astroid, not to be confused with an asteroid) to text that I have broken apart into individual shapes. This works very well with the shape tweens; however, I would like to use symbols instead of shapes for my tween.
Naturally, I converted my shape and my broken apart text to symbols and then set up a motion tween. My research has told me that you cannot morph from one symbol to another using ANY tween, but this would not make sense to me.
Am I missing how to actually do this? If it is true that you cannot morph between symbols, then why on earth hasn't Adobe made a way to do this. If I need to substitute one shape for another in a flash video, and I have this shape in 100s of frames in the video, there is NO way to quickly find and replace those shapes, especially if you've duplicated the the several (20) times in each frame.
