Naming Trick

[aridzone]

You can get around naming multiple objects and pictures.

Try this trick.
After adding all your objects or pictures:
Select all, apply Soft group, Apply name (just once), Copy frame, Remove soft group,
Clear selection, Move or change objects & pictures, Copy frame again etc...

You only have to name one tme

Neet trick aridzone, I'll give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

To name multiple objects you just select them all and apply a name. Now all those objects have that name. I don't understand the need for all the subsequent complexity...

Unless I'm just missing something

I thought each object that moves/changes independently requires its own separate name.
Example: triangle, text and line.
- The triangle flips/spins so it would need a name.
- The text changes color so it would need a name.
- The line stays static so no name needed.
Can you use the same name for triangle and the text?

That was my thinking Frank.

I made two simple samples.
#1 tried giving all three objects (triangle, text and line) the same name.
Copied frame, rotated triangle & changed text color
repeated a couple times.
Preview. Get flash error: Frame 1: Duplicate tween of Quickshape and line named "allthree"
Don't understand what that error means. ?? Can someone explain?

#2 Duplicated the file and this time I used a separate name for triangle and text.
No error generated.
