I'm having a problem with shape hints. I have to use shape tweening for a
certain animation I am working on... the problem is that I have created the
whole animation sequence on the main timeline and now I need to turn it into a
movie clip so that I can bring it into another movie.

copied all of the frames and pasted them inside of a movie clip and it loses
all of my shape hints....

anyone have an idea of how I can avoid losing the shape hints and having to go
back and redo...???

Thanks!

not sure I follow all, and I don't see why you loose anything by copying all
frames (all together in one step ) to a clip.

Anyway, a poor answer could be :
save you movie as "myTween.swf"

Then in your main timeline of a new mobie, you create a clip to hold the
done movie :

createEmptyMovieClip("myTween",1);
myTween.loadMovie("myTween.swf");

I hope for you there is a better answer.

You can't unfortunately .

I was afraid of that.... Yes I thought about just placing the movie into an
empty movie clip but I don't think that will work right with the way I'll be
implementing the animation...

I'll just have to replace the hints on the frames which need them. oh well...
:(

Thanks!

Just an update in case anyone else comes across this same problem...

Flash does infact keep the shape hints from each layer. The problem is that
they all shift off of their points when you convert to a movie clip. I think
you mayn be able to fix the problem by making sure the X Y coordinates in the
movie clip are the same as on the main timeline... dunno.
