This has been driving me crazy trying to figure it out.
e_e

I wanted to know if someone could help me out.
See - I've been trying to do this with my maps storyboard:

You know, make the image pulsate?
BUT - I can't figure out how to do it.
Well, I can do it, but I can't do it with just one image.
If that makes sense.

'Cause the way I do it, I have to go into my Sprite Library and open the same image a bazzilion times.
And that is really frustrating and it clutters the storyboard.
...Yeah, I hope that made sense.
x_x;;
Can someone please help me figure this out?

Fade and Scale until next keyframe, then create another keyframe with their original values but disable tweening, alternatively you could use a loop, like explained here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=31476

disable tweening
Um...
Every time I try to disable tweening it deletes my last keyframe.

I don't think I get tweening to well.
I looked on the FAQ, but it didn't help me much...

|----|-----|-----| Create your keyframes like this then

|----|--here---|-----| Select a spot between the 2nd and 3rd keyframes and disable tweening and it becomes like this.

|----| empty |-----| the image will jump from its current (position, scale, fade, etc) to the one in the 3rd keyframe when it reaches it.

Edit: btw, this should go in the storyboarding subforum since its a storyboarding related question, more expert storyboarders will help you there, a BAT/GMT should probably move this there

I got it to work, but I don't want the pause it the middle.
I want it to go continuously.

Does that mean I'm going to have to use a loop?

You can put it wherever you want really, here's an example of my map, in which i used a flash, and flashes every beat during certain sections:



As you can see the flash lasts 1/2, and restarts on the next beat, depending on what you want, you can make the pulse last 3/4 and make it restart on the next beat, or whatever you want to do with it, word of advice tho, make it too fast and players will hate you =P
