In between the starting frame and the end frame of a MOVIECLIP shape tween, I want to select the intermediate shapes in the timeline so I can copy them. The frame picker only works for graphic symbols. No selection tool works...

    Hi mate,

    What do the Movie Clip or the Frame Picker have to do with the whole thing?

    If I understand correctly you have two keyframes and a shape tween between those two.

    You want to copy one of the intermediate states of the shape to some other place.

    Convert that one frame to a keyframe and cut the frame; paste it somewhere else.

    If this is not what you want, please, explain further.

    I don't know, LOL, I would have thought a function called Frame Picker would help me out in this situation, but it is for graphic symbols only I guess?

    Bingo, that's exactly what I was after. Cheers!

    Ahhh, I see. I haven't gotten around to creating complex animations that use containers yet, though I have watched some Drawing with Jazza videos on YouTube where he shows how some of his containers work. It looks like fun!


    It is fun!

    I've put together a bunch of character rigs that show how nesting is done for character animation, which you can download to play with and have also documented the process in this article if that is of interest.

    Good luck!
