Motion guides

Can you clear up a small fact guys…
can you tell me if it’s possible to have more than one motion guide and on different layers?
I’m sure it’s gotta be possible but I tried putting another one into a file I was creating earlier today and it gave me the option of tween but I couldn’t get the motion guide option in the menu.

any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

many thanx once again,

Mike…:cool:

To my knowledge, you can have as many motion guides as you wish, as long as each one relates to a layer that has a tween on it. Also on your actual motion tween layer, make sure you check the motion guide box.

I think you have to do it basically one at a time, to avoid confusion. Make your tween with a start and end point, then add the motion guide and make sure the guideline is attached to the start and end points on your tween.

thanx for the feedback friend…
I have made sure I had the start and end points correct but when looking to set the motion guide I find the option greyed out…strage I figure !
I gotta be doing something wrong or missing a simple (duh) fact.

Mike…:sure:

Tell you what, post your fla file, and I can take a look, see what it’s doing. :slight_smile:

ok friend here is the file I started playing around with…
please understand that this is very and I mean very basic.

I was just experimenting with the motion guide options and decided I wanted a second shape to be placed in the letter “D”.
I wanted it to fade in then bounce out and down the symbol to the left of it as if it was travelling down a ski-slope and then disappear of the screen.

sounds complicated eh?
weel as I said it was just me experimenting and trying to learn the motion guide option.

any help would be gratefully appreciated.

many thanx,

Mike…:moustache

I’m sure I’ve gone about this all the wrong way…lol
but as a “newbie” I will rely on others with much greater talents to point me in the “right direction” or to the “EXIT” sign…LOL.

thanx again.
