There is no obvious solution to creating a seamless continuous animation. This is specifically useful when you want a moving background. This example uses a simple technique of nested tweens to create the effect.

Example: Download the Flash file Ani 404a

Example of a continuous seamless animation.

Example: Download the Flash file Ani 404b

Here the animation is used as a background.

In both the above Movies the method of creating the animation is the same. In fact in the animation with a plane I have simply changed the content of the symbols used to create the animation and added the plane. So the method of animation in the two Movies above is identical. In this tutorial I am going to describe how to create the animation with the moving diagonal bar.
