In this tutorial you will learn how to morph shapes in Flash. In Flash this is called Tweening shapes. This is a simple form of animation that changes one shape into another.

 

Example: Download the Flash file  Beg 001a

 


Example of shape tween

New: See Flash Demo Movie of how to build this Flash file

Step One: Creating a Shape

  1. Open a new document.
  2. Select an appropriate size and background colour by going to: Modify > Document
    The size of my movie is: 200 x 130
  3. Type the word: one


    The layer I shape tweened starts with nothing but the word: one

    Note:
    Anything you shape tween must be on the same layer, so make sure that objects that are not going to be shape tweened are in a separate layer.
  4. You may wish to change the size of your text with the free transformation tool .
  5. Select your arrow tool .
  6. With the word 'one' still selected go to: Modify > Break Apart
    This breaks the word up into individual letters.
  7. Do the same thing again: Modify > Break Apart
    The second break apart creates shapes.


    When a shape is selected, it is dotty.

    If it is not dotty when selected, but has a rectangle around it, it is not a shape, which means you cannot shape tween it!
