Example 2 How to Make a Continuous Loop Movie
In this example we will take the Movie made in
Example
1 and edit using Cut and Paste of
KeyFrame Markers to make a
continuous loop. The Image file (Cornwall Couple.tga), the Show File
(example2.mpx) and the resulting Flash Movie (example2.swf) may be
downloaded by clicking on the Download Icon.
Concept A
KeyFrame Marker is an object that
contains all the information about a start or end point in a Movie
segment. Copying a
KeyFrame Marker copies all the information
about the size and orientation of the image in the
Camera Window.
To make a continuously looping Movie that does not have abrupt jumps
when it repeats (like the Movie in Example 1) the Image must end in
the same position that it starts. Copying the start
KeyFrame
Marker to the end of the Movie accomplishes this. Try it,
it works. We will start where we ended in
