Hi all -
I expect once again to be hitting my forehead and saying "d'oh"... this seems like something that should be easy to do but I'm having no luck... I have this feeling I could do this all with ActionScript but I don't know how...and now I'm stuck.
I'm trying to create an animation that will become part of an intro for a website. I want 1,092 slanted ovals (1 slanted oval instance in 28 lines of 39 each) to enter two lines at a time from either side of the screen (starting at top & bottom and ending in the middle), and end up as a parallelogram made up of these ovals.
I created 14 mc's with two lines each starting from the top and bottom and with the two in the 14th meeting at the center. These work great.
I tried placing them at 20-frame intervals on the main stage, and this produced some really funky results! (Neat, but not what I wanted.) I tried to nest them in another mc and use "gotoAndPlay" and frame labels; that didn't work (or maybe it would if I knew what I was doing!!!). I'm starting to get very depressed... I've spent a heck of a lot of time on this and still have a whole site to do!
Can anyone suggest a better way to do this? I'm even willing to start from scratch... And apologies if someone's already answered this... I tried searching for a solution but I don't seem to be using the right key words...
