Is there a way you can copy folders made in Flash MX. I have created an animation with many items, and put them in one folder on the timeline. But now I want the same animation on a different scene. So is there a way I can copy the folder from Scene 1 and paste it in Scene 2. Thanx!!(-: ---

just select all the frames and copy them when you paste those frames they will be automatically distributed to its layer and the layer will be named the way it was where you copied them … not sure if the folder will be created as well ---
