View 3 Repliesmy movieclip button was working perfectly as a motion tween. Can you use shape tweens as movie clip buttons? I just made that change, and kept my code:

I will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.
View 2 RepliesI am facing a problem in one of my animation with flash CS4 - I have nested a Shape Tween in a Motion tween to get more control over the easers and effects, unfortunately I am not able to view on the timeline of my Motion Tween the action of the Shape tween nested inside.
It only show the first shape of the Shape Tween during the entire Motion Tween and that is really a problem for me because I need to see the final frame result of that Shape tween to be able to position it in a precise way on my scene according to other instances.

I'm using shape tweens to morph one shape into another:While I enjoy some of the choices Flash makes for animating the transformations,I am wondering if you can control it in any way, or even have flash generate a different transformation.That demo shows about what I know, which amounts to: applying shape tweens for morphing; and motion tweens for 2d spinning, and basic movement from point A to point B.
View 2 RepliesI want to make a Shape Tween where a text of a small size increases in size. I followed a tutorial, and I did what it tells me: I put the starting text in the first frame, create a blank keyframe at the end where I put the bigger text, I then use the selection tool to right-click on both text objects in the video clip and select Break Apart which I do twice, and then I should be able to create a proper Shape Tween... but when I click on a random free and either right-click or go to Insert, Shape Tween is greyed out. How come? I also tried the other Tweens, but they don't do anything.
View 5 RepliesI want to shape tween multiple objects on the same layer. When they are placed independently from each other all the time on the canvas, I have no problem to make them morph into the other shapes in the ending keyframe.
However, when some of the objects are crossing each other in either the starting or ending keyframe, they don't morph smoothly but quite funnily. Funny phases are nested between the intended starting and ending tages.
See the images below. What should I do to prevent this?

View 1 RepliesI am running Mac OS X, I recently added a shape tween to one of my fla's and I click save, the save bar pops up but when I re-open the file, everything is fine except the shape tween that I added earlier. The shape tween will not save but saves in the swf.

View 2 RepliesI want to have shape tween animation with bone tool on bitmap image. Because shape tween animation supports only Shape data type, I converted the bitmap to that type (Bitmap -> Trace Bitmap). Problem is that trace command splits bitmap image into multiple shape fragments, so I can't use shape tween anymore.I tried to combine and group shape fragments, but it doesn't fix it.
View 1 RepliesI have been producing animation on my Mac using shape tweens and hints where necessaryUnfortunately when these files are then opened on one of my colleague's PCs the shape tweens appear broken as the hints have dissapeared.If the file is opened on another Mac this does not happen.I have yet to spend too much time focussing on testing the whys and wherefores of this problem, but wondered if this is a recognised issue or is a one off
View 1 RepliesI'm having issues with something I used to do all the time in previous version of Flash.On my Main Timeline I have a "looping" MovieClip (myArrows_mc). This MovieClip's timeline just has some simple animation,for instance some arrows that run across screen.There are no stop() actions, so once the playhead reaches the end of the MovieClip's timeline, it just goes back frame 1 and plays again.
Now I want to animate a simple shape Mask over top of the MovieClip. However, everytime the playhead gets to a keyframe in the Mask Layer, the MovieClip getting masked goes back to frame 1 and plays.
In other words, let's say myArrows_mc has 100 frames of arrow animation. On the Mask layer, I have tweened a simple oval shape from 1 side of the stage to the other. The shape tween has keyframes at frame 1, 50, and 64.
When I test the movie, everything looks fine (the arrows are looping) until the playhead reaches frame 50. Then the myArrows_mc, even though it hasn't reached the end of the arrows animation (frame 100), goes back to frame 1 and plays. Then when the main playhead reaches 64, myArrows_mc again resets to frame 1 and plays.
How can I animate a Mask over a MovieClip (not a Graphic) at authortime?Also, I need the Mask to be either a shape/motion tween or a graphic... it can't be it's own MovieClip, because I need to keep it "tied" to the Main Timeline.
My question is simple: is "Shape tween" the only way to animate two totally different colors, say, for ex, green to red?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to shape tween from a simple vector object to a number of complex vector objects, but the same problem occurs when trying to go from one simple object to two.
Instead of slowly/smoothly splitting the initial object into two, it just copies them and they move apart from each until reaching the final two object forms. As if this wasn't bad enough, they are also connected by a random straight line. Ugly.
I guess I can understand why this happens, but is there no way to tell it to make the transition in another way? Shape hints tend to make the problem even worse.
Has anyone noticed how the 3D tween causes a loss in visual quality of the movieclip? For example, if I have text within a movieclip, and then put a 3D tween on that movieclip, the text becomes almost blurry (even when the tween is complete). Then if I take the 3D tween off the movieclip, the text goes back to being perfectly clear. It's not just text though; its any content with a 3D tween on it; text is just the most noticable. Is anyone else dealing with this?
Is there something that I'm missing, like a quality setting on 3D tweens?
P.S. there aren't any blur filters on the movieclip. I checked
I have two vector graphics I imported to my stage and want to do a shape tween between them. But shape tween is grayed out. The images are imported Illustrator EPS's. I attached two screenshots.

I'm using Flash CS4 on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.1.I've added two shape tweens on two layers in my main timeline. The SWF tests fine. All is good.I close the document.I open it up again and the tween shapes are gone and there are only regular frames between the transitional shapes in their respective keyframes.I've already added shape hints, and they are completely restored when I convert the intermediary frames back to shape tweens.Exporting to SWF after restoring the shape tweens works fine.
Closing and then opening the FLA still results in the shape tweens reverting back to regular frames.Exporting an SWF from the newly opened document shows no shape tweening as it is gone from the main timeline.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
For those of you who know how to shape tween TEXT, you can do it by breaking it apart(under the MODIFY tab) in the GUI part of Flash. In AS3 however, you can't do that.
End Result wish - To simply have the text font increase in size starting from say, font size of 10 to 300 as if it is coming out of the screen. Imagine a dot, and then imagine the dot shape tweening out to become a large dot until it fills up your screen, now imagine your text box being able to do the same thing.

I've been using the motion editor for my Motion Tweens, but as you probably know, I can't use the motion editor on a Shape Tween. Is there no way to do this? I just want it to slowly ease in.
View 6 Repliesusing the shape tool you can draw basic shapesthen using the subselection tool you can re-shape them by relocating certain points
What i want to do is create a tween whereby one of the points is movedthe problem is you have to convert to a symbol first and after you have done that you cant change the shapes shape.so how do i go about using a motion tween to change the shape of a shape?
i put a shape tween on the timeline that shrinks a shape a certain number of pixels in a given time. my problem is that it shrinks too smoothly in the movie! I need it to shrink in a step by step fashion, and i'd like to be able to specify the number of steps. i'm hoping that there's a simple parameter that i can use to do this. or may be there would be a way to slow down this tween? by changing the fps locally without effecting the rest of the movie? i will need a solution that will work for motion tweens too, but imagine that the principle will be the same also, as a second question, is it possible to tween a bitmaps tint color style so that it changes from say red to green over a number of frames?
