Re: FLASH: many symbols following one path? From the newbie

[Byron Canfield]

Greg,


If the animation of the multiple symbols is to occur simultaneously, each

symbol to be animated along that path must have it's own motion guide --

not to worry, though; you can copy it from the first one and Past In Place

(Ctrl+Shift+V) on all the other motion guide layers, provided you make sure

each symbol is snapped to the ends of its own motion guide path.


If the symbols animate separately, that is, if one symbol moves along the

motion guide path and then completely stops before the next symbol starts

to move, you can make a special layer for all static symbols, and cut them

from the animation layer to past on the static layer and use the original

animation layer for the next symbol.
