Navigating Movie Clip Timelines
Planning and Preparing
Before we dive right into this thing, let's think just a bit about how we're going to make it work. This may sound crazy, but pencil and paper make for great planning tools. Really: there's nothing quite like a quick sketch to help you get started on the right foot.
A few thoughts:
- We have to move the entire car
- The car contains a body and wheels
- The body has to move, inside the car
- The wheels have to move, inside the car
A sketch:
I decided to create a Movie Clip called vehicle_moving_mc which wil hold a motion tweened vehicle_mc. Everything else (body, wheels) will be inside vehicle_mc.
By the way, I see you are admiring my FaberCastell GOLIATH pencil. I get those at Press: Works on Paper
