Re: FLASH:Give me a BREAK!!!!

[Gerrie Warner]

Now I've gotten as fas as a very jerky version of a movie by the following

steps:

(depending on who answers you get different methods!!)

New > View work area (don't ask me what the differance is between that and

the default window!!!!)  Go directly to the text tool and make the text  -

it's default Layer1

Go to Insert Layer > stupidly enough it places Layer 2 ABOVE layer 1 so I

move it down

it has the pencil showing so I asume it's the layer being edited. I use the

paintbrush tool to make a irregular blue area we will call "cloudlayer"

With the pointer tool I left-click on 60 then right click on Insert Keyframe

and the same for Layer1

Opps forget to make them into Symbols - Jeeezus!!! Erase everything and start

all over ...

Insert > Create Symbol > Graphic

The Insert Frame as above and make my cloud again  -  make it a symbol too

giving it a name (don't ask me why, I'm fumbling in the darkness here ...)

Now I right click on the first frame in cloudlayer and Modify > Tweening >

Motion >

Didn't work so good soooooooo I tried right clicking the last keyframe in

cloudlayer and Insertkeyframe but now there is a red arrow right accross the

whole timeline. Haven't a clue what that could possibly entail!!

So now I'm totally lost for the 200th time closing the program and agree with

a recent contributer that many of the tutorials have contadictory moves and

assum you know what is going on already - in which case who needs 'em!?!
