OK...
I had created an animated .gif for my website...in the form of a sound wave, which scrolls across the page...representing an audio track playing back in a digital audio workstation (the graphic is an actual cropped audio track from a screen shot of a SONAR project.)
Trouble is...the number of frames required to make the scrolling seem smooth (& believe me...it's still a long way from smooth) creates a huge file size.
Check it out:
So now...Everybody is telling me to do this with Flash.
So I got Flash.
Now I import my long & narrow sound wave graphic into Flash...& have no idea where to start. I took the animation lesson with the bouncing, compressed tire...but it's not really relevant to what I want to do; & I can't seem to find a direct method in the help files anywhere.
In Adobe ImageReady (where I created the animated .gif)...I positioned the graphic in the window all the way to the left end & created a frame...all the way to the right end & created a frame; & tweened between those two points.
How is this accomplished in Flash?
How can I select each end of a long graphic, as frames; & tween between those two points...so as to create a smooth scrolling effect? That's all I want to do.
Thanks very much,
Sonic Max
