What is a MovieClip()..

MovieClip() is just like a SPRITE in swish. You put all your animations in a single object. When you make a simple animation its hard for you to move you animation to a specific place, so the solution is to make a MovieClip() which will contain animation, and you can easily move it on any space.

Making a MovieClip()

I will make movieClip(), which will be easy for you to understand..
Follow the steps..

1. Draw a rectangle. (you can make any object circle or rectangle)..
2. Select it and convert it to MovieClip by pressing F8 or goto
menu Insert and select Covert to Symbol, and from that box
click on option Movie Clip



3. Now you movieClip() is ready, but you have to modify it.

now we will make a smiple animation in MovieClip() and place it anywhere in our SWF file

1. Double click on rectangle.Now you are in the MovieClip().
2. Select the whole area of rectangle with Arrow Tool
3. Now convert it to a graphic symbol, goto menu Insert and click
on Covert to Symbol. And from that popup window, select Graphic
option.



Now your rectangle is a graphic symbol.
4. RightClick on frame number 20 and selcect Insert Keyframe.
5. Now LeftCilck on frame number 20, and drag your rectangle to any
other position, put it in the left botton corner.
6. Now rightclick on any frame between frame number 1 and 20, and select
Create Motion Tween.
7. Double click on outside the rectangle..

Now simply drag your MovieClip and place it anywhere in your movie.
Hope it helps..

regards
Ali Roman.
