thanks florian, but keyframes, splitting and joining sprites is something i use a lot and have no problems with. also i realise that my problem may easily be confused with it.
i have put a screenshot of what i mean at: http://www.multimediaworkshop.co.uk/screenshot/ you can see there that some sprites are drawn in a long uninterrupted line, with a keyframe at certain frames. but if you look at the sprite in channel 5, you see this 'other' incarnation of sprites i am talking about. each individual cell can be selected indiviually, will (probably) have its own begin/end sprite event, etc. these sprites still have keyframes as you can see from frame 150 in channel 20. i have not found anything about this way of sprite presentation in the help files or on macromedia.com. and it annoys me that i can't (quickly) figure out howe to convert them back to the 'standard' presentation, as te way they are presented here sprite animations cannot be re-sized as keyframes that are 'in the way' when shortening the animation are simply erased.... hope that helps! thanks nik. -- <email> [EMAIL PROTECTED] </email> [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
