Hi all,
Ok, I am a Flash NEWBIE... I am taking a class trying to learn this program and am having great difficulty. I have an assignment due tonight (3rd assignment), and I'd like some help if ya'll don't mind. I've attached my .fla file so you can see what I've done so far. Here are the instructions for the assignment:
1. Create an animated logo that is a circle that shape morphs into the letter S over 10 frames
2. Place this animation inside a Movie Clip
3. Add the Movie Clip to the Movie.
4. Animate the Movie Clip within the parent movie so that it moves from the left of the screen to the right over 100 frames (i.e. it's at the left of the screen at frame 1, and at the right at frame 100)
5. Add two buttons to the parent movie that appear for the entire length of the movie. They should be labelled "Stop" and "Play" and must have different Up, Over and Down state appearances
6. Add scripts to these two buttons to stop and play the parent movie.
Also, just so you know the final creation should look something like this (which is from another student in class):

Now, I've made the morph, but am stuck on step 2. How do I place this animation INSIDE the movie clip?
Do I have to copy and paste the 10 existing frames into a new layer, creating a new symbol (movie symbol) in that new layer?
Then, do I return to the "scene" and drag the movie symbol from the "library" into the scene? If so, where do I drag it to, does it matter?
Let's start with that and I'll move on as I go. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.
The file is attached as a zip.
Thank you,
Chris
PS. I'm using Flash MX 2004 Professional if that matters.
