The last step is to add the ActionScript to our movie clip symbol. In case you haven’t figured it out, do the same thing at frame 10 with the back profile symbol and frame 15 with the front profile symbol. On frame 5 of your “character” layer, drag your left profile symbol to the stage and align it to the center.

Be sure the “To Stage” button is selected (it will be a darker shade of grey when selected) to align your sybols to the stage, deselecting this button allows you to align multiple symbols to each other. Tip: You can center align your symbols to the stage by using the Align palette (Window > Align or cmd-K (Fig. On frame 1 of your “character” layer, drag your right profile symbol to the stage and align it to the center.

This will automatically put you in the symbol editing mode for your new symbol. In the “Name” field, give your symbol an appropriate name (I chose “mc_character”, select the “Movie Clip” radial, and hit OK.

This will bring up the “Create New Symbol” dialog box (Fig. On frame 1 of our main movie timeline, select “Insert > New Symbol” (cmd-F8). Once you have your character profiles ready (either by using mine or creating your own), we will need to place them in a movie clip symbol in order to control the movement.

You should now see the 4 profiles as symbols in your Flash document Library (Window > Library (cmd-L)). To import these files, open your Flash file, select “File > Import > Import to Library”, browse to where you saved the above files, select the files and click the “Import to Library” button.
