Flash frustration

Ok, I've been having problems with flash.

Is there any way to move a tween and all it's key frames all at once? For example: I created a motion tween of a circle going across the screen, and then copied the frames and reversed the sequence to get a repeating effect. Now I want to move the circle over, which would be easy enough, but that will throw everything else off! Isn't there a way to select everything in the timeline and move it all at once??

Someone help, PLEASE!

Not sure if this would work, but have you tried clearing the motion tween, removing the keyframe in the final frame, moving the circle to the spot you want it in the initial frame, then re-creating the tween?

I hope that makes sense.

Is it that you just want to move everything along the timeline so it has a different start & finish frame?

If so you can click on the first frame and while still pressed drag the mouse along the other frames until you hightlight all the ones you want moved, then release & click & hold again over the highlighted section and then drag to the new position on the timeline. This will move all of the sequence together.
