FLASH: drag movie not moving - please help

[Jonathan Mao]

Hi


I'm trying to move a movie clip across screen/stage (left to right) 

but it's not playing.


What I did:

1. created movie clip (13 frames)

2. placed clip on stage at the desired starting point at frame 1 (in 

this case, off-stage to the left).

3. created a keyframe at frame 30 and moved the clip to centre-stage.

4. created a motion tween (deselected tween scaling) and set rotation 

to 'none'.

5. set 'start drag' action at frame 1 and specified the clip instance name.

6. set 'stop drag' action at frame 30.


What happens:

- When I hit return to play the movie, it simply moves across stage, 

the clip doesn't play. I've selected 'enable frame actions'.

- When I 'test movie' the clip plays but doesn't move across the stage.


Question:

- What am I missing?

- Do I need a 'set position' action for each of the 30 frames?


Many thanks in advance.


Jonathan
