Hi everyone,

I wonder if it's possible to make a movieclip out of a timeline animation.

Example: I prepared an animation in the timeline using several layers, keyframes, MCs, tweenings...
Now I decide that I want to have the whole setup inside a new Movieclip to re-use it later - how do I do that? For those of you who are familiar with AfterEffects too: I'm looking for a way to "precompose" my setup.
Just selecting all and then pressing F8 won't work...

Ideas?

Got it on my own - thanks Google...

The solution:
Just select the area of the timeline which should be in the new MC, rightclick the timeline(into selected area), choose "copy frames".
Then create a new empty MC and inside it, rightclick the timeline and choose "paste frames". Voila.

Not as elegant as in AfterEffects, but serves the purpose.
