I have a still image on layer 1 in flash and I want to create an animation of people rushing past..like a blurry image. Ive looked online for any help with creating something like this but havnt found anything... any ideas?
Thanks

It's a speed effect that many people use:

Create three keyframes, one on the first frame and another one on the last (frame 5 maybe), and one immediately after the first frame. On the second keyframe, take the personMC and blur it a lot and position it in the middle of both the start and end positions. That way, the people will look as if they are running real fast. If done well, it should look good, if not, well, you can tell.

Is this what you want?

See if it works for you, many people who are new to this always get the amount of blur and the placement of the person wrong, so it'll look a little weird, if you have any problems, I could help ;)

Before I start on it, What's the differences between both the files?

some walking movement. I dont know if this is necessary but when 1 & 2 are put together its a short (very short lol) movement! Also using CS3 and AS2 just incase you need to know this ;)
