    Default How do I add an object to multiple frames?

    I have a flash animation with 25 frames.

    There is a NEW logo I want to add and animate.

    I created and named it 'newlogo'.

    I have been adding it to every frame with a paste-in-place

    How can I add this to all of my frames at once? Even if it's in the bottom corner, I can move it around and change its position for animating within the individual frames?

    I've tried the View All "eye" and Edit All "Arrow" but that didn't seem to work.

    I even tried clicking the overlay boxes and editing them all that way, but no go.

    I know I'm missing SOMETHING.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    When just using shapes,make one frame,place object
    go to layer gallery and copy the frame several times.

    If it's objects that cannot be tweened,then you have to place the object on a frame,copy the frame and alter the objects(maybe make bitmap copies)

    This way you get a frame by frame animation

    Hope this helps

    Thanks haakoo,

    I'm working with an existing document, so copying frames is not actually an option.

    The objects CAN be tweened, but I want to add them to all 25 frames without having to go through each frame (I'm using 25 as an example, it could be more.

    I know what you want because I want the same, something like a
    "copy to all frames" button.
    I haven`t figured out how to do this either.

    That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for!!

    I'm up to 46 frames and I'm not anywhere NEAR done.

    I'm wondering, too, if I can use the _levels feature and have each make or model be its own flash file and call them as needed.

    Would make it smaller for sure.

    The CPGMU at the bottom will be replaced with the logo for each brand. Changing these 5 logos on all 46+ frames seems a bit daunting!!

    If it isn't going to be animated, you could just add a Background layer for the first frame and put the logo on it. It will show in all existing frames as well as any new frames you add.
    If it IS going to be animated, The only way is to copy/paste to each individual frame. AFAIK

    Even if it's an old thread maybe somebody else might want to ask the same question. I added a bitmap to frame 1 and copied it to all the other frames. Returned to frame 1 and named the bitmap. In frame 2 chose the bitmap and in Name Gallery chose the name I've applied in frame 1, clicked Apply. Repeated that in all other frames. Done.

    Thank's for the update Klimt. I believe if you add a bitmap to frame1 and name it, then copy it to each frame it'll save you having to name it for each frame.
