Flash Tip: Paste in Place
Wednesday April 9, 2008
I'm a bit of a creature of habit, including in my computer shortcuts. Ctrl+C, New Layer, Ctrl+V, and I've got a Flash object copied right into the same spot on a new layer - right? Wrong. One lovely little quirk of Flash is that if you just use the Paste function, it doesn't paste it back where it came from; it pastes the copied object right in the middle of the working area depending on how you have your stage zoomed and positioned. In order to make sure you paste it right back where it came from, you should break your usual keyboard-tripping habits and instead use Paste in Place.
