FLASH: scripting motion redux

[Catherine Kunicki]

Hi.


Cat's back in tutorial mode : )


I asked this question back in August or September and recieved a couple of

great answers which I didn't save and can't seem to dig up in either flasher

or flashcoders archives.


I have some old scripts (Hypertalk and Lingo versions) which move an object

in lissajous curve patterns.  Since its familiar territory, I want to try

them out with Flash 5 actionscript.


I have my movieclip moving in a "while (i < somenumber)" loop. My clip moves

correctly, however all you can see is really the first and final positions.

I need ideas (or links to tutorials) about the best way to show the steps.


I think using movies with more than one frame might have been the answer : )


I noticed helen triolo's elegantly moving bubbles, which I might try and

figure out - looks like there might be some help there - but if anyone can

give me a jump start, I'd appreciate it.


Catherine
