I have brought an animated GIF into Animate, I want to make this GIF move accross the screen. Is it possible to animate an already animated GIF?

I dont know how to do this as the frames have already been used to animate the dog running... how do I animate the dog so its also moving forwards?

(for HTML5)

    Hi.

     

    There's a few different ways to accomplish this. One way is to copy the frames, create a new Graphic symbol (Ctrl + F8 / Cmd + F8) and paste the copied frames inside of this newly created symbol.

     

    Then you just need to drag an instance of this Graphic symbol from the Library into the desired timeline.
