#Copy / Paste

Hey Greg!
Real quick – How do you Copy and Paste FX in Action Editor. I followed the
book, no go. I am trying to make a ball follow a path which goes up and down,
as well as make it BOING for the frames the ball is hitting the ground. I
would like to copy the FX which resides in FX1, at different points (frame
groups) down the line throughout the duration of the animation so that the ball
will BOING "on command". I thought about just simply using FX1-4, but the ball
bounces 5 times. Oops! There's gotta be a better way, and I know you know it,
so what is it?

Steve,
Select copy, click on the first frame of the IFX you want to copy, then on the
last frame of the IFX you want to copy. When I say frame, I mean the bar
itself. When you make the last selection you will automatically be in PASTE
mode. Now click in the frame of the FX/1 timeline you want that copied bar
pasted to. One thing to note, with IM3.2 you can only copy the whole bar, not
a portion of it. I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I'll bring it to
the atention of Impulse on Monday in case they don't know about it. Actually,
it looks like a bug, since the screen can get garbled. Seems like when the
interface was upped to the higher resolutions this was cut/paste did not
translate well.

Thanks again Greg. Yes, I would like to know if this is a bug. I will try
clicking away and let you know of the outcomes. I'll upload my bouncy ball if
/ when I get it to work.
Later Ray-Dude!
