Timeline anitmation question:
I've got several symbols of a car moving along a path. Each symbol's animation has at least 3-4 keyframes.Now, I have to change the colour of this car, and i'm doing it, swapping the symbol on each keyframe, with the new symbol of the correct colour.
Is there a way to swap more symbols at once, like selecting the keyframes i want to replace on the layer and then just replacing them with 1 click?

Can never get that to work correctly. It would be nice to be able to swap globally.
The easiest thing would be to first duplicate the symbol in the library and rename it as the original. Then, simply change the color within the symbol already in use. It will change it for all the cars then instantly.

I agree... and i would do in this way, but in this case this approach is not possible.
Well.. i guess i'll continue hitting the swap button several times them

cant you use the setproperty action (am I thinking of the right thing) to change the colour of a movie clip? put the action on the keyframes of the timeline and point it at the instance of the movieclip (if that makes any sense at all)
