Hello,

I created a scrolling pictures that are going to be buttons (to link to a
new window) I notice that when I finished it doesn't have a smooth
transitions to the first picture. How can I fix it? I want it to continually
to loop.

THanks

I am talking about this scrolling pictures:

They have a smooth transition from the end to the first picture. How do you
do that?

Thanks

It is done by using 2 copies of the image strip movieclip. Make one
follow the other and when it goes off screen pop it back behind the
other copy. That way you never see the change over. It looks like
one strip but you just make a duplicate of it for the 2nd.

Thanks

There are different ways to do this.. where the clip is masked, or
where the images cross the whole stage, but let's start with a simple
version where the stage size is the same width as the image strip.
Example:
Image strip contains 5 images of 100 pixels so it is 500 pixels wide.
Stage width is 500

on layer 1
Drag 1 instance of image strip movieclip onto stage and center it
so the ends of the strip touch the edges of the stage
Make a keyframe at frame 200
at frame 200, move the image strip movieclip so that it is all the
way off stage on the left with the right edge just exactly at the edge
of the stage
Click frame 1 and add a motion transform.

on layer 2
You will do the same thing with another instance of the image strip
movieclip only this time at frame 1 the strip is all the way off the
stage on the right side with the left edge just next to the stage
On frame 200, make a keyframe and move the image onto the stage
exactly fitting onto the stage
Add a motion transform to frame 1

Ok, now it should move in a loop without a jump showing.. except 1
little thing.
The frame 200 position looks exactly like frame 1 visually so you need
to remove 1 frame.
Make keyframes at frame 199 on both layers and delete frame 200 on
both layers.
That should do it for a nice scrolling image.

BTW, this is all much easier with Actionscript but the above is the
tween way to do it.

Please make a new thread. It is bad form to "hijack" another person's
post.

Hi Kevin

I do not understand what do you mean by "scrolling picture" and "smooth
transition to the first picture"
Scrolling picture means a Power Point stuff?
Smooth transition to 1st picture?

If possible, please provide more detail or even source code
