move stage or entire movie?

skiss0rz · 08-07-2007, 02:50 PM

Is there any way to move the stage so it matches up with my movie? If not, how can I move my entire movie at the same time. I have tried selecting all the frames and used the selection tool to highlight everything I could on the stage, but it still leaves parts of motion tweens in the old location.

your best best would have been to wrap everything inside a movieClip..making it a snap to move the whole ting at once.

You can copy and paste frames.. but it is still a long process.

Thanks for the reply.

Is it too late to wrap everything inside a movie clip? For next time, how and when do I wrap everything inside a movie clip?

start with a new document, and create a NEW, empty movieClip..

drag that to the stage.. and create ALL your work, graphics, objects, code, inside of THAT...

If you have ANYTHING that needs to be more than 1 frame long.. make it a movieClip..

Someone else posted this as a tip on moving everything, but I can't find the thread...

Quote:

Click Edit Multiple Frames below the timeline, then Modify Onion Markers and Onion All. Then, menu to Edit, Select All, and you can drag the entire animation around.

I redid my entire movie inside of a movie clip this time, how do I get it to play in the actual movie though. I dragged it onto layer 1, frame 1 and it doesn't play. Do I need actionscript to make it play?

do you have a stop action on the first frame??
