Flash Movie Clip Question

remoteboy

Hi,

I'm having a slow day, so this may be a dumb question, but ...

I've made a car in flash and I want to animate the wheels moving as the car drives from one side of the canvas to the other. I've made a separate animation for the moving wheels (about 10 frames) and pasted them into the car movie clip (1 frame). When I tween the car from one side of the canvas to the other, the wheels don't move, but if I don't try to move the car - i.e. just leave it in the one place - the wheels do move. Am I missing something obvious or is this one of those complicated action scripty things?

Cheers.

You're doing something wrong, the wheels should move in both scenarios, without scripty things.

Just to clarify, you have three symbols:
The stationary wheel, a movie clip or graphic.
The wheel movie clip, 10 frames long, in which the stationary wheel rotates with a tween.
The car movie clip, 1 frame long, which contains the car body, and two of the wheel movie clips.

You then have a main timeline which contains the car movie clip, moving from a to b with a motion tween.

Right?

That pretty much sums it up
