# I've been trying to get my head around animating in Flash itself


I think that it may happen, this time.........

Edit:
However, the clouds are supposed to be moving, but aren't. They're movieclips, but how do I get them to move in the main timeline?

# They should be moving by default,
does it work if you export it as a swf instead of a gif?

# I think it
will, I just exported this from Flash.

# Try what BBD said (below this post), that should get it to work.
If it still won't work, you could add me on msn and send it for me to have a look at or something.

Edit: Never mind, spacefish explained it.

# ..
but how do I get them to move in the main timeline ...

give them enough blank frames after the frame containing the movie to allow them to play.
(I'm assuming your movie has them tweened in its own timeline)

# No, they're symbols...
I think that's the problem..........

Ahh well, another lesson learned...

# for some reason
if you export to gif, you only get the first frame of any movie clips you use. so if you've made an animation of a cloud moving sideways, it'll stick on frame 1. you'll have to move it sideways on the main timeline for it to work

it's a bugger, but that's how it is

# Aye.
I had all sorts of trouble with that for m3tatween 4. Hugo did some cleverness in the end. Not sure what though.
