New Anim Clip

This is an automated version of "the Pringle". It creates a new empty symbol registered to the stage and the symbol is open for editing in place. A requestor pops up asking for the new Layer name, the new symbol name, and a choice Between Graphic Symbol (Default) or Movie Clip. If the name fields are left blank the default name will be used (ie Layer 1, Layer 2, Symbol 1, Symbol 2, etc). This is intended as a way to quickly compress an animation into a looping symbol that maintains the proper registration to the stage. Compressing the animation into a symbol allows you to easily manipulate the entire animation and seperating characters into their own animation clips can facilitate compositing. To use this extension, select all the frames of the animation you wish to put into a symbol. Cut or copy the frames, then run the NewAnimClip command. After clicking OK on the requestor, right click the blank keyframe and click "paste frames". You can then Exit the symbol and delete the layers that contained the animation.You can also copy/paste-in-place symbols from the stage into the new anim clip and they will stay registered. For copy/paste-in-place to work correctly the Symbol Position in the Info panel must use the symbols registration point (center Box should be black).
