Leg moving

[syhpex]

I have a couple of layers that make up a running leg, it starts when the leg is at the back, about to lift up and take a step. I want another of the same leg, but I want it to start when its finished taking a step and add them together so it looks like its running.

How do I do this?

[ProphetofHAM]

copy the frames of the leg you have into a layer behind the curent one, and shift all the frames so it starts where you want it too.

[syhpex]

That wont work.

The lenth of the animation is 20 frames long, instead of starting from frame one to 20 I need the other leg to start from frame 10 to 1. Is there a way you can you have layers in a group?

Have you tried with a MovieClip of the leg?

[buster126]

Duplicate the symbol select all frames/ reverse em.

[syhpex]

If I convert all the layers making up the leg into a symbol and/or movie clip they're just a static image, so when I drag it on the stage its just one image instead of one walking.

Wait...wait...

I think what is happening here...You're using Motion Tween instead of Frame by Frame animation to animate the legs?

That explains all...

I'd use FBF instead of MotionTween... Yeah, it's harder but the result is better...

[syhpex]

Yeah, I'm using motion tween. So, what can I do to solve my problem instead of doing everything frame by frame?

Here is a verrry basic tween walk.

.

And dont forgett to move the "center"/rotation point of the MCs.

Yeah, like in the example. How do I make the whole leg into one layer?

You can't really, only one object can be tweened, you'll have to split it up.
And seriously, if you want to get into good animations, 20 frames fbf is Nothing.

Put a animation of the walking loop inside a movieclip. THen it will repeat over and over.

make your legs a movie clip

[Cybex]

To make the legs start from different times, trn the leg movieclip into a graphic, and you can select which frame it starts from in the properties box.

What the hell.

I have a bunch of layers that make up a walking leg right?, I copy all the frames, delete all the layers except for one and draw a dot and click on that to go into a "tween" and paste them all, that deletes all the frames so its only one. But I think ah wtf I'll just start again, but everytime I just try select one sybol of the leg for example the thigh it selects all of them unless I keep clicking on the leg which sends me into about 20 other grounps and tweens and movie clips until I get the part I want, and then I have to animate it again and then im back to where I was before, so it just goes around in circles. Can I animate the four different symbols that make up my bloody leg to animate differently in ONE LAYER?
