How do you move the entire contents of a layer in a scene. I have a layer with several hundred images in it (one image per frame) that I imported into Flash. It defaulted to the top left area of the scene and it's a lot of work to individually move all those images to their perfect placement in the scene.

HELP!!!

I think what you are looking for is the Paste In Place command... hold down the shift key when pasting.

OHHH I bet I know what you have - you took something like an AVI and imported it into Flash and now it's a series of Bitmaps that make up the animation...you want the top corner to go to like 0,0 and each one is at lik 10,10 right?

I think there is a way (if Bob's suggestion doesn't work) to do it with the onion skinning on the timeline...you can somehow IIRC select all the frames you want to be affected and then make a move and all of them will move accordingly.

You should probably go to the Macromedia boards and ask this one - they'll give you your answer quick and it will be right I am sure.

A basic premise of Flash logic (though I'm no expert) is a nested "movie clip" or "mc".

For instance, instead of importing your frames right into the layer of your scene ... create a movieclip & import the frames into it. Then you can place the movie clip where ever you want in the layer of your scene.

To play, you would have to implement actionscript "actions" to control it.

import them into a movie clip then delete it from the stage, then pull it outta the library and position it where u want it. The main thing is to make that import its own movieclip
