if i take a full sprite sheet and make the whole thing a full movie clip of that whoel sheet beign played of a certian character, could i use just that ONE movie clip to say like, the first 5 frames does a slashing movement and right after that he jumps. could i tween the sprite at that partcular frame, to jump up? like ok...

Frame 1-5 slashes. on the 6th frame, i make a keyframe, to saaay the 30th frame, is when the sprite is no longer fighting in the air or is jumping, accordin gto the sheet. so. if i made the two keyframes at 6 and 30 and tween the motion upwards, would the movie clip continue playing and only moving? instead of restarting at the keyframes? so far thats what ive experienced is when i start a new keyframe and tween it anywere the animation starts over on the sprite, so instead of looking like hes jumping, he looks like hes slashing again but going in the air.

so what i wanan find out if i can do is make allll the motiosn and movements of the sprite tween wise, to make it go across the screen, in the air , or wat ever, with tweening just one Movie clip that runs off its own, or do i have no choice but to take each animation row and make when i wanna tween, a diffrent movie clip, like 1-5 is the slashing animaiton movie clip, nto the sheet, just the part from the sheet, then SWAP movie clips at frame 7-30 of the parts that have him fight in the air. then go back to the sheet and make the next animaiton clip of him on the gorund again, so i can tween that new animation downwards?

what i have been able to do is simply make the keyframe, an dnot tween it, but jutst change the key frames area, like it son the ground 1-5, and once 6 comes aorund i make a keyframe and instea dof a tween, hes in the air like he teleported. ha. which isnt the affect i want. so any idea hints or tips to make the animations easier? caus ei hate doing the frame by frame tween by tween for seperate sheet parts and makin breaks and shyt...ill do it if there sno other way but any help or advice to move the movie along more quickly would be great.
