3D rotation and position.
1. Select the tween span in the Timeline or the object on the Stage that contains the motion tween to copy.
Only one tween span or tweened object can be selected to copy as ActionScript 3.0.
2. Do one of the following:
Select Edit > Timeline > Copy Motion As ActionScript 3.0.
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the tween span or the tweened instance on the Stage and choose Copy Motion As
ActionScript 3.0.
Flash Pro copies to your system’s clipboard the ActionScript 3.0 code that describes the selected motion tween. The code describes the
tween as a frame-by-frame animation.
To use the copied code, paste it into the Actions panel of a Flash Pro document that contains a symbol instance that you want to receive the
copied tween. Uncomment the line that calls the addTarget() function and replace the text in that line
with the name of the symbol instance you want to animate.
To name the symbol instance you want to animate with the pasted ActionScript, select the instance on the Stage and enter the name in the
Property inspector.
You can also name a motion tween instance by selecting the tween span in the Timeline and entering a name for the motion tween in the
Property inspector. You can then reference the tween span in ActionScript 3.0 code.
For more information about animating with ActionScript 3.0, see the fl.motion classes in the ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components
Reference.
