You can actually save the file out of swift 3d as a swf file... then you would import the swf file in the main timeline or in a mc instance how ever you choose.

for your purposes,, I think you want to put it into a mc instance to keep the movie clip contained as you drag it to the location you desire.

then you can use the select multiple layers to move all the layers at once in the mc if need be.

recap:
1 export your movie as swf
2 create a new fla file of your choice of languages.
3 create a mc instance
4 import the swf to stage
5 leave the instance of the mc to the main timeline
6 position the mc where you choose.

hope this helps

ok I just did what you are asking.... I have version 5 of swift3d... but you should be able to do it....

you make the frames of your swift3d project.. then you export it out as a swf... then you can import the swf into the stage.... this will created framed animation.... then you export it from flash as an jif sequence.

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi
if I export all the frames from from swift 3d I can only save as swft file which i can open in flash.
I fiugure out how to save as gif file but still having problem, when I open flash cs3 and i open a new flash file and i drag the swft file in to it, the text appears outside the white area so outside the stage when i move the text to the centre the movement apply only for the first frame so when i play the animation the first frame is in the centre and then it moves back outside the stage, if I select all the frames and then i move the text to the centre of the stage when i play the animation, it plays outside the stage,

how can I move the text to the centre and when i play the animation the text stay in the centre?

Thanks

could you save the file or export the file as a jif format in the swift 3D program?
