How To Create A Movie Clip

1. Select the object that you want to make into a movie clip.
     Note: If the object is part of a graphic (picture) follow these steps first:
          1. Select the graphic and go to Modify (In the menu bar), then click Break Apart.

          2. Deselect the graphic, then select the area of the graphic that you want to make into a movie clip.

2. Move the object to an unused area away from the graphic, then go to Modify, then Convert to Symbol.
3. Name the object whatever you want to name it. Click on the drop-down list in Type and select Movie Clip. Click OK.
4. The object is now a movie clip.

Applying it to an Animation
1. The movie clip should appear in the Library, and the object that you converted should still be on stage.
2. To animate the movie clip, double-click the gear symbol next to its name in the Library.
3. It will appear on a blank stage by itself. Here you can apply whatever you want. You can make it rotate if you want.
     To make it rotate, select the movie clip and go to Insert, then Motion Tween. Select the motion tween in the Timeline (You can make it longer or shorter if you want), then go to Properties, then Rotation and insert a number of times that you want the movie clip to rotate. You can then pick which way you want it to rotate (CW = Clockwise; CCW = Counter-Clockwise).
4. Once you're done, click on Scene 1 (At the top) which will take you back to the graphic.
5. Move the movie clip to where you want it to be on the graphic. You can insert more copies of the movie clip by dragging it from the Library.
6. Once they're in place, select the entire graphic, including the movie clips.
7. Go to Insert, then Motion Tween. Click yes if it asks you to convert it to a symbol.
8. Now you can make it last longer or shorter and you can move it to where you want it to go.
9. Go to Control Movie, then Test Movie. Everything should work.

Congratulations! You created a Movie Clip!
