[@connor64x22]

this reminds me of that part it Joker Movie

[@jjkmovies]

I just make sure every shot in my movies are inside their own symbol. Keeps the timeline organized AND gives me the benefit of dragging it around or scaling it up like a camera.

[@jacobbowitz]

Yea I used to do that as well but I have learned that a v-cam is easter to work with.

[@JTriggerVideos]

+Jacob Kitts I do that as well. I still use a V-cam for camera shakes and snap zooms, but having the whole movie inside a symbol is very useful for parallax scrolling and just overall perspective.

[@MB_0101]

Is there any tutorial on how to do that?

[@StudioCRJ]

@M B I could make one if you're interested still.

amr ojjeh Oh, I only got Edge Animate, which u cant draw in. XD. And you could actually download Flash CS3 somewhere on the net for free, not sure if pirated or not...

Yu Hung Goh most likely pirated or a trial or a scam.

[@yuhunggoh7628]

amr ojjeh oh... ok, so I'd probably not download it right?

Yu Hung Goh ya you should download products only from their main website not a third party website. Im guessing the webstite is called softonics or something. Never download from them

When I try doing this on ActionScript 3.0 in Animate CC 2015, my animation somehow ends up in the corner of the video, cropped. My version of Animate/Flash does /not/ have a built-in camera, and for some reason Creative Cloud doesnt let me update the program :/ Does anyone know why my video ends up in the corner?

you're probably copying the wrong one, try the other one that you didn't use instead. if it doesn't work, try double clicking the v-cam and then pasting the script there.
