movie clip in background 2011-03-28 20:20:12 Reply

I am a newbie so excuse me if my question sounds vague.

I'd like to make two separate flash projects. The first flash project is a static background of a TV with a blank screen.

The second flash project is a hand drawn animation. My objective is to place the hand drawn animation onto the TV screen image of the first flash project.

Thanks in advance.

You haven't asked a question.

Wouldn't it be easier to just put the TV screen on another layer of the animation?

Not sure how familiar you are with flash but.... here is my recommended solution to your problem.

Just Create a Movie Clip of the hand drawn animation and place it in the TV.

Movie Clip is found in:
Insert>New Symbol> MovieClip

copy the frames from the "stage" onto the MovieClip.

(All frames and MovieClips can be copied and pasted into other movies/files)

Okay, I imported the movie clip onto the stage. How do I resize the movie clip for all frames?
