Hello All
I am currently using action script 2 and I created a fla/swf of an airplane
doing a loop along a motion guide. when I play the fla/swf the plane does the
loop and follows the guides. I want to make it into a movie. I go through the
process of making it into a movie and test it when I'm done however the plane
just flys across the screen and doesn't do the loop. Basically it's not
following the motion guide how do I incorporate the motion guide into the movie?

Thanks All

these are the steps I am taking to create the movie

I. Highlight all layers (incuding the guide layer)

II. Edit>>Timeline>>Cut Frames

III. Insert>>New Symbol>>Create Name>>choose Movie Clip>>OK

IV. Select First Frame
Edit>>Timeline>>Paste Frame

V. Return to Scene 1

VI. Delete all but one Layer

VII. Highlight all extra frames except frame 1
Right click and choose remove Frames

VIII. Bring out new movie to your stage

IX. Control>>Test Movie

Sound like your object does not touch the guide with its center point.
Could you upload somewhere the fla for us to check?

I believe that I uploaded it to this site
http://www.slpsite.net/Dreamweaver/dreamweaver.htm
it's called Flying Planes

but why would it follow the path at all if the center point didn't touch the
guide?

Right click the first frame on the GUIDE layer (Guide: Brown Plane)
and go to REMOVE TWEEN
By accident you set the tween to it while it shouldn't be there.
Once removed, all worked as expected.

Awesome and thank you I will give that a try

Well Unfortunately that didn't work either I even created a brand new fla from
scratch using only 1 plane and still when I create a new movie symbol the plane
doesn't follow the motion guide (even though it did before I created the movie
symbol) is there anything that I have to re-activate for it to follow the
guide?

It's weird because it works for me w/o problem.

You changed your layer from Motion Guide to Guide.
Guides do not export, they are for content which is not visible upon publish.
I told you to remove Motion from guide layer frame, not layer itself.
