dragging layers

[z35]

What is the easiest way to drag a set of frames, on several layers, to the right of the timeline?

If I wanted to drag a set of frames to the left, for example, I would simply highlight a frame at the beginning of the timeline, on each layer, and keep the "delete" key pressed.

Is there a shortcut to do the reverse?

right now, i have to highlight the frames and drag each layer separately.

If you're using 5 you can just select a keyframe (or a frame at the end of a keyframe block), then click and hold, pulling the frame either left or right. Macromedia seems to have been unhappy with this sensible and intuitive approach and has made some idiotic change to the method in MX ... I haven't quite figure that out yet.

i'm not sure what you mean. i think that you are saying you havn't figured out how to do it.

click and hold...pulling the frame, i tried this but it doesn't work...what do you mean?

I mean click, hold and pull. You have used a mouse before, right? Just kidding ...

What version of Flash are you using?

5.0..but your method is not working.

Okay, if the frame you want to drag has a WHITE RECTANGLE, or a BLACK CIRCLE in it, follow this proceedure:

1. Mouse left button press on the frame.
2. Mouse left button release 9frame now selected - black background).
3. Mouse left button press on the frame.
4. Drag frame to left or right.
5. Mouse left button release.

If you are in v5.0 frame behaviour, this will work.
