Had a student with a question. Tried to effeciently give her a way to attack a scene. I have a file quick test file, will post the link to it.

  1. Tried to have a torch with a loop, nested flame animation tweened, make a graphic symbol out of it.
  2. Then on the main time line have a bunch of instance copies of the symbol
  3. Paralax the torches lined up going across the scene. 

What's happening is when I go back to the main timeline, and I have all the instances, I try to classic tween a paralax of the torches going across the screen and it's forcing me to create another tween symbol. Once I do that, the nested looping flame animation stops animating. Ugh, help.

Hi.

 

If you have more than one instance in the same layer, you either need to have all of them inside of a single symbol or you need to place each instance in its own layer to get the tween working.

 

So make sure you're not trying to create a tween between frames that have more than one instance each.

 

Please let us know.

 

Regards,

JC

That sounds like the right answer to me! Thank you.  Follow up question, so when it essentially made another symbol out of the group of torches on a single layer, why did it stop the nested animations I had in the instances?

if you fail to use movieclip, not having sufficient frames on the parent timeline will prevent child animation from displaying.

is that forced symbol a movieclip?

No I made sure to make them all graphic symbols.
