Hey,

So basically i have a walk cycle already created but at the monet the charcter just walks on the spot so that the background can move behind him to make it look like hes moving hower there is also a scene where the background stays still. How would i make my still walk cycle move along the screen while keeping all the arm and leg movments doing the same thing

 

I dont know if that makes as much sense but hopefully you can help

 

Thanks

    Hi mate,

     

    You should put your cycle into a Graphic Symbol container so that you can loop it and modify it on the outside as one element.

     

    Here is an example how this is done:   http://flash-powertools.com/edapt-movie-template-free-download/

    And here is some more info how to organise your cycles for flexibility:   http://flash-powertools.com/keeping-cycles-flexible-for-easy-re-timing-by-using-service-frame-and-working-two-levels-deep/

     

    Good luck

    By nesting them two levels deep as shown in the link that I already posted above.
