Creating movie clip groups

The Make Movie Clip Group command or button groups one or more selected objects and makes them a movie clip. This is equivalent to choosing the Group command or Group button, followed by the Movie Clip command or button.

Note: You can create a group from a single object. This allows you to make the group movie clip and then animate the Transformation properties of the object within the group independently of the containing timeline.

To create a movie clip group:

1. Select the object or objects that you want to include in the movie clip group.
2. Do one of the following:
• Choose Object > Make Movie Clip Group.
• Click the Make Movie Clip Group button  in the Timeline window.

If the object is already a group, you can simply choose Object > Movie Clip or click the Movie Clip button on the Timeline window to make it a movie clip group.
