It is possible to motion tween (move and scale) a loaded jpg image using the timeline?
I have an image loaded and put into a createEmptyMovieclip that is also inside a movieclip called ‘holder1’, but when I try to tween the movieclip, the image disappears.

yeah, but not if it’s a mc created with as 😉
then you have to tween that with as 🙂

I figured out that if I create an empty movie clip inside a holder MC, then I am able to tween the holder MC just fine.
