Adobe flash animating help

[RainbowFlash82 14]

In flash (CS6) how do I apply a motion tween to a frame by frame animation without having to move the thing bit by bit every frame. I'm only just new to flash so don't call me an idiot.

Motion tweening, eh? You right click the frame you wanna put to a motion tween, and then you select create motion tween and you move it around in the keyframe after that to have it move a bit.

 

Be careful with it, though, as something tweening usually looks pretty cheap and unless you're doing something different with it ala what they do in ponies it might look pretty silly.

 

Also for stuff like this, google is your best friend my friend. Or if you really want to have a whole bunch of useful tutorials, go here!

But I'm dealing with frames that are bang on right next to each other, you see I created some frames for a walk cycle like this

Then I created a shape tween between the frames and it turned out really nicely.

Then I converted the cycle to keyframes and removed the tween so I could add a motion tween.

And the frames were bang on right next to each-other so it would take me forever to move it bit by bit.

And plus I asked how to add a single tween over the entire frame cycle

In all honesty I'm a bit of a moron, so can you screenshot your timeline so I can get a better idea of what you're trying to do? 

 

What I can say right now is that you aren't going to be able to tween seperate shapes moving around but you can copy all of those frames that you have, put them into a movie clip, and then just tween the movie clip so that it looks like it's walking

Yeah, simple as that. If you have the animation as you want it, but want it to move in a direction as well, then simply copy all the frames, create a random symbol, go into the symbol and paste them all in there... That way, you'll have an animated symbol that can have a motion-tween on it's own~

I've done that now! But now the animation won't play at all! I mean when I go inside the movie clip all the frames are there and the animation plays just fine. But in the actual timeline of the entire scene it just remains a static image! HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLP

Never mind Iv'e already figured it out, you use a graphic not a movie clip, no need to bother replying
