Question

Move an entire object including keyframes

I have an instance of a movie clip which has three keyframes to it and is positioned off the stage. At the beginning of the scene I calculate the position for the clip and then move it onto the stage via the following code:

var block = _root.Shape1;
block._x = calculatedX;
block._y = calculatedY;

That's fairly simple but it only moves the first keyframe for the movie clip. All of the other keyframes work with the object at it's original position.

How can I move the object so that it applies to ALL of it's keyframes?

do you have code controlling the _x,_y properties of Shape1 in those other keyframes? if so, and they execute after the code you posted, they'll override the code you posted.

This doesn't sound right. When you move a movieclip (a single object) you move all elements in that movieclip. Can you post your FLA so we can take a look at it?
