[Flashcoders] Moving groups of objects
Hi all, I hope this is not too basic, but are there any tutorials and/or hints on how to move multiple objects as a group with AS (preferably AS2)? Whenever you could throw me a line I would appreciate it!

Re: [Flashcoders] Moving groups of objects
Hi Jonathan, How about creating a root movieclip and then making your objects as children of that clip, so something (pseudocode) like: create movieclip f1 // root button create movieclip f1.button1 // button clip create text field f1.button1.text1 // text create movieclip f1.button1.rect1 // rectangle and then you can move f1._x+=10 or f1._visible=0 Gabino - Original Message - From: J.C.

Re: [Flashcoders] Moving groups of objects
Thanks Gabino for the quick answer. However, I do not know what I have done incorrectly. As per my second email, I have an empty mc on the root and I have created a text field in there, also load in mcs in there, and attachMovie some buttons. But when I move the mc in root only the images which are loaded in move when I move it?

Re: [Flashcoders] Moving groups of objects
I think you'll have to provide some code. It's hard to tell why you've orphaned your text. Maybe your targeting the wrong clip. It can be pretty convoluted. Luck - Original Message - From: J.C.
