Re: FLASH: simple flash 5 question (is: moving keys)

[Andy Mrozkowski]

I agree with Till.  Moving multiple frames within the timeline seems rather

useless (and a little messy to me) when compared to having control over the

placement of the stage's contents (without moving frames at all). Perhaps I

misunderstand, or lack the shortcut, but I would like to be able to move

multiple objects on the stage while keeping the frames unchanged.  If I

could do this, the stage would get a lot more action. Currently I have to

create many (and mini) movie clips to organize the stages contents. And this

is the only way I've found to reasonably control placement.

2 pennies,

Clicking
