Copy all the frames in the layer. To do this, click on one frame and drag the mouse over all the frames in the layer, after the frames are all highlighted black, right click on them and hit Copy Frames. Then go into the mc you want to paste them into, create a new layer there, right click on the first frame and hit Paste Frames.

Hope this helps:)

Hey there,

Another way of going about this is just selecting the layers you want to copy, and press (Ctrl+Alt+C) to copy them. Makes it just like an easy copy and paste (Ctrl+Alt+V).

Have fun,

Uth
