Re: FLASH: egg cracking animation - symbols disappear at end

[Dorian Nisinson]

Just in case it is something simple: Are you making the new keyframe in

the same layer that holds your crack lines? If not, then you are

deleting the crack lines from the layer they are on and that delete

effects all frames back to the most recent keyframe. You can tell what

layer your lines are on by selecting them and seeing which layer name

has a black dot next to the name.

	As to the egg cracking animation go to http://www.bway.net/~dorian 

and select the Flash Gallery button. Then select the Happy Easter

button. Is that what you mean when by a cracking egg effect?
