Paste in Place in Flash CS3
Use "Paste in Place" to make a copy exactly one over the other in Flash CS3.
By default, Flash pastes in the center of the stage. There are 3 paste options under the Edit menu:
- Paste in Center
- Paste in Place
- Paste Special
Paste in Place
Continuing with the tutorial let us make multiple copies of the smaller slanting line right across the railway tracks.
The easiest way to do this is to:
- Select the instance of the smaller slanting line on the stage
- Copy (Edit > Copy)
- Paste in Place (Edit > Paste in Place).
- Then, use the right arrow key to move it a little away.
- Repeat the process.
- Once you have done around 5, select all 5 (select multiple by pressing the shift key while selecting), paste in place and move.
