Flash Tutorial - Tweening Shapes

Free Flash Tutorial

Step Three: Your second shape

For a shape tween to work you must have two shapes.

1. Right click (Mac: Ctrl click) on frame 15 and select: Insert Keyframe.
   
   
   The time line should now have a arrow between frame 1 and 15.
   
   This is the symbol for a tween. If your time line does not have an arrow, you have done something wrong
   
   At this stage you can either change the shape of your existing art work, or delete it and create a new shape. I am going to do the latter.
   
2. Delete the word: one
   The word will still be in frame 1.
3. Type the word: two
4. If you wish, change its size, position, rotation or colour.
5. With the word 'two' still selected go to: Modify > Break Apart
6. Do the same thing again: Modify > Break Apart
