Exporting a movie clip 1

[monoone]

I need to export a movie clip I created and export into the library in another file. How do I do this without linking?

Anyone?

Thanks,

Eric

Did you try just copying/pasting? That will drop it in the library....

I Have tried this (copying and pasting all the layers into the new document then highlighting them all, copy then insert, convert to symbol. I am able to do this and it works fine but the animation in the clip does not work.

I have tried copying the clip from the frame but its just blank.

Help...

What do you mean by "its just blank"?

In the frame, is a blank key frame and on the stage is a blank

Okay how about this.

I cant even create a movie clip within the Document. Once I convert the animation to a clip then drag it onto the stage, it loses the animation function, it doesnt move. What am I doing wrong??

Open your document you want to copy from.

Right-click on the symbol on stage and select "Copy".

Open your new document. Right-click on the stage and select "Paste".

That. Should. Work.

Is this sort of what you're trying to achieve?

Yes;

How did you get that to work?

This is how I did it...

Deleted all your empty "LightOne" empty movie clips in both projects.
Opened your reflexLightOne.fla.
Created a new empty clip, and named it "LightOne".
When back to the main timeline.
Right-click anywhere on the timeline.
Hit "Select All Frames". Then "Copy Frames".
Open the "LightOne" clip, select the first frame and right-click it, "Paste Frames".

You now have a movie clip, which is a copy of your main timeline.

Now open up your reflexStreak.fla, in which the original "LightOne" was deleted. Drag the new "LightOne" clip from the reflexLightOne Library onto the stage.
You now have a copy of that clip in the reflexStreak.fla.

You'll have to scale it down to fit in your eye and position it correctly.
To scale it down, in the "LightOne" clip in the reflexStreak.fla, add this to the first frame:

this._xscale = 25;
this._yscale = 25;

Finally you can put a stop action on frame 5 of your reflexStreak.fla, and everything should work fine.
