How to copy/paste a section of a movie? 1

[Kharpa]

I have a section of my movie I like. I want to reuse it further in the movie. How do I copy and paste it? Do I have to do it all again!? Hope not!<br><br>Thanx

Select the frames (on the right layer) and copy and paste.

Like I said, it is not working...and I don't know what I do wrong. The first thing I tryed is select the frames and ctrl-c/ctrl-v: It's like copying something else like a symbol and then copy it. But I want the sequence to be copied not just the symbole...<br><br>thanx

Copy frames, not clipboard copy!<br><br>Either select and right click copy frames or ctrl alt c then right click paste frames or ctrl alt v.

Yes you need to highlight all of the frames that you want to copy.<br><br>Press Ctrl+Alt+C (Copy frames)<br><br>Then, you may need to create a new layer to paste these frames in.<br><br>Create a keyframe.<br><br>Highlight the key frame (This must be done or you will not be able to copy)<br><br>Ctrl+Alt+V (Paste frames)<br><br>This process will automatically create new layers and name them accoringly, as to what you copied them from.<br><br>

You can copy the frames to the same layer if you want.

Your right, yes you can.&nbsp;&nbsp;I thought that kharpa wanted to copy several layers, not just one.&nbsp;&nbsp;What I was explaining is that if you copy more than one layer of frames (unless you do them separately), Flash will automatically create new layers beneath this, with identicle layer names.
