Selecting and editing frames in the Score

You can select a range of frames in the Score and then copy, delete, or paste all the contents of the selected frames.

To move, copy, or delete all the contents of a range of frames:

1

Double-click in the frame channel to select frames.

2

If you want to move or copy frames, choose Edit > Cut Frames or Edit > Copy Frames. If you want to delete frames, choose Edit > Clear Frames or press Delete.

If you cut, clear, or delete the selected frames, Director removes the frames and closes up the empty space.

Note: To delete a single frame, you can also choose Insert > Remove Frame.

3

To paste frames that you have cut or copied, select any frame and choose Edit > Paste Sprites.

If no frame is selected when you choose Edit > Paste Sprites, the Paste Options dialog box lets you decide how you want the frames to be pasted.

To add new frames:

1

Select a frame in the Score.

2

Choose Insert > Frames.

3

Enter the number of frames to insert.

The new frames appear to the right of the selected frame. Sprites in the frames you select are extended or tweened. (For more information about tweening, see Animation overview.)
