Hi, I want to move an animation in my flash header. The problem is… when I move the text (it’s supposed to fade in), it only moves the final destination point, leaving the first one where it was before.

So when my file loads… the text sort of floats into place as it fades. I can move each “point” (initial and final) independantly (btw what do you call these?) but how do you move them together?? (I select them both in the timeline, holding shift, but it doesn’t help)

thanks

I don’t know what you are on about for the most part, sorry.  
If you want to edit/move more than one object at a time you could use the onion skinning button found under the timeline, 4th button left of the trashcan icon [also called _Edit multiple frames_].
