    Take a look at the layers window (upper left window) in the first image.

    You can just click and drag the emitter to create position keys at different frames, or r-click on the emitter and “record position”.

    Don’t see what?

    R-click on the emitter in the stage window and select “record position”.

    Every Time I try that all it does is create another emmitter. Sorry if you think i’m wasting your time.

    Have you looked at all 4 of the Quick Start images?

    Have you looked in the html docs for “moving an emitter” — it’s pretty close to the start of tutorial 1.

    The answer is you’re in “Add” mode, which adds an emitter whenever you click on the stage. Use the toolbar button to toggle between “Add” and “Select” modes.

    If you still are having problems, please post as much details on what you’re doing so I can tell you where you’re going wrong.

    Alan.
