I needed to move an entire layer to the right on the stage. The layer is a series of tweened shape animations that connect to make a circle grow and morph into a more complex shape. The shapes themselves moved fine but the shape hints stayed in the original spot. I followed the instructions in the manual eaxactly: Click "edit multiple frames button", clicked "onion all" button, then from the edit menu: select all, then moved everything. Why do the shapes hints not move with everything else? What do I need to do to make this happen?

Thanks,
Cloo
 
try taking the selection tool and selecting everything by holding down on the tool and drawing a selection around everything, thus selecting everything..

then just move it over..

hi cloo,

I experienced this problem in the past, and have since created any tweens requiring 'hints' in their own movie-clip. Doing it this way ensures that they can be moved anywhere in the main movie while still retaining the hints in their correct positions. Bad news though.
