So can someone clear this up fo rme? When you make a cutscene in flash do oyu have to use the timeline? And when you import an animation do you have to set where each frame goes?

Say someone was making a cliche fighting cutscene/film would they have to put the effects whenever someone got hit or can you make it say put this effect here whenever this does this?

On layer 1 I put the background. And on layer two I tried importing animation. Do I have to make another layer 3? If I want the sprites to interact with each other? Flash confuses me so.

I use flash mx.

That doesn't answer my question.

So can someone clear this up fo rme? When you make a cutscene in flash do oyu have to use the timeline? And when you import an animation do you have to set where each frame goes? The time line would be easier, but you can put it all in one movie clip.

Say someone was making a cliche fighting cutscene/film would they have to put the effects whenever someone got hit or can you make it say put this effect here whenever this does this? What do you mean by that? Make an empty movieclip, then add you effect in that movieclip. then go back to scene 1 and add the effect by clicking and dragging it from the library.

How do I control the camera?
