Hi, in flash MX 2004 I have imported a tga sequence of frames. Now if it is imported the animation (sequence of images) is played at de top of my document, but I want it in the middle of my document.
My question is, can you move the whole sequence to for example the middle of the document?
Because if I select all of the frames and then move it to the middle, than just the frame will be moved where the timeline is at that moment end all of the other frames won't move with it.
Maybe there is just one simple button for it. I have searched in the help and the FAQ of this forum, but no luck so maybe you just can't and have to move them one by one ??
I hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks,

Jeffrey.
 
You should be able to drag them.

Make a new layer above or under the layer with the frames you want to move, (to select them).
Click the new layer and select both layers (only the frames you want to move)
Then drag them where you want.

Thanks for your reply but that does not work.... then just one frame will move. And not all of the frames. I think because if you load in a sequence off frames all of the frames are keyframed or something??
 
Select all of the frames in your sequence (you can do this by clicking on the layer name), right click on that, and select Copy Frames. Create a new movie clip and right click on the timeline and select paste frames.

You now have your sequence in a movie clip that you can position on the main ntimeline any way you want.

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
