Hi Everybody,

I am new to Flash and was trying to create a show like this:
http://www.ikies.com/overview.html

One half would have a panning image and the other half would be a solid
background. I saw the article on panning and it worked:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?c
ontext=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00000155.html

But I'm having trouble adapting it for myself. Does anyone know how I would do
this?

Thanks!!

Allie

When I go to the website you mentioned, what effect am I looking for? All I see in a fade in/out.

Are you making this to be dynamic or just as a video?

if your just making it a video wouldent it just work to have the picture in
one posision make a key frame, make a keyframe X amounts of frames in forward
in the time line then moving the picture where you want it then just make that
timeline into a motion tween?

or am i missing something here?

Oh, I see now. I thought there was more to what I was looking for. You just
want a simple motion tween. That Adobe link you provided is overkill in trying
to get a simple tween motion. Just place the image on the stage (after you have
turned it into a symbol of some kind), go to frame 30 (or whatever), insert a
key frame, move the image whenever, right-click on any of the frames in between
1 and 30 and choose "insert motion tween". Am I missing the simplicity in your
question?

No, actually you are totally right. It's just I'm really new to Flash.

How do you get it to go slow?

add more frames inside the tween or change the frame rate of the video (the framerate is displayed between the timeline and the videoframe[stage])
