I want to move all my elements down 10 pixels. But when I select all the keyframes in my timeline, it only moves down the one keyframes I am on at the moment, but not the rest of them...
Is there a methode to move all the keyframes at the sametime. or do I have to go to each of them and move them all seperatly down?
Thanks a lot for u help...

Hold shift, select each keyframe, then move them.

Hey..
thanks for the quick answer...
sorry, I didn't express my self clearly... :-)
I didn't mean to move the keyframes in the timeline but the elements which are hold by them on the stage...
For example... :
Frame 1: A box has the position x:0 y:0
Frame 10: The box has the position x:10 y:0
so it made a movement from 0 to 10...
What I want to do now is move both key frames 10 pixel up...
So it's gonna be Frame1: x:10 y:0
Frame 10: x:20 y:0
But I don't want to do go into both keyframes to move the box 10 pixels. I want to select both keyframes and move the box in both of them 10 pixels up...
Any Idea how that works...
Thanks again..

you make it sound as if you want to move the actual keyframes not the objects contained within.
I am not understanding you correctly that is for sure, but I think that you are asking how to select several keyframes and move all the objects at once. But do you mean with actionscript? Or by hand?
If you are creating manual tweens by hand. Just hold shift and select the multiple objects as dzy suggested. It doesn't matter if they are on different keyframes. If you mean by use of actionscript then you simply divide the number of frames by the amount of movement and incriment it accordingly. So if you wanted to move your object 10 pixels in 10 frames, that is 1 pixel per frame so your code could be something like this...
if(thisObject._x <10) {
thisObject._x+=1;
}
this will move the object 1pixel per frame until it reaches 10 on the _x axis.
Please elaborate if I have not helped you. I really suck at understanding peoples questions..I'm beginning to realize that now :)

hey
don't worry my faut... English isn't my first language so... I have a hard time explaining things... :-)
well I try again...
I have two keyframes.
Both frames contain the same box bot there is a Motion Tween between them, which makes that the box moves from the first position to the second one.
Now let's say I positioned the hole thing at the wrong place... So I want to have the same movement again but somewhere else on the stage...
How can I select both boxes in both keyframes (at the same time)and move them to the new place?
No actionscript....
hopefully I wrote it clearer this time... :-)
thanks very much for beeing patient with me...
