RE: FLASH: animated gif positioning problems within a flash movie

[Paul Willoughby]

Hi again John,


I think Glen has the better solution! Although, when you import it into a

clip it still won't neccesarily appear in the centre of a clip, making the

bounding box of the clip a lot bigger than it need be. This can be a problem

if anything else in your movie is dependant on the x,y co-ordinates of the

.gif or if you want to dynamically set the position of the .gif, because the

x,y of the clip won't match the x,y of the .gif. If your not going to do

anything like this then you don't need 'edit multiple frames'.
