Copy and paste

[unconsidered]

I have a skyline background for my current frame, and I'm planning to have a slow decent of the skyline for about 2 maybe 3 seconds. Now I have a couple of problems.

1. Drawing the Skyline takes a long time
2. It never turns out the same as the last frame

I'm sure some of you have the same problem, and have already used the copy and paste system to success. My question is, how did you do it, and what are some things I need to watch out for?

Can you make the skyline a graphic and tween it?

Could you post a screen capture of your problem/what you wish to accomplish?

I don't think you understand what he's trying to suggest. Select the whole of the skyline/background, press F8, convert it to a graphic or movieclip and tween it across the stage.

It saves loads of time.
