Flash Animation Tutorial: Shape Tweening

Video Transcript

"Let's name our layer, sorry, Diamond and we can if we ever need to see the name of these layers we can scoot this out a little bit. Let's create a new layer, add to our animation. This time we're going to create a complex shape tween. This was a very simple shape tween. Going from one shape to another, we didn't really change the shape that much, we just kind of skewed it and moved it a little bit. Well what if we decided, hey I want to change an organic shape. So let's say, let's pick a nice green color and let's boost up the size and shape. And we decide that we want this shape here and I don't really know what I'm drawing here. But, let's say we decided we want that shape there to animate over time and change into, let's put a new key frame here F6, we want that shape to move over here, but also to change into something that doesn't look even close to what it looked like at the beginning. Can Flash handle this? Well, let's take a look. So, let's go back to the beginning, right click, create shape tween and we can see over time it morphs into that new shape. And let's say that we wanted to put this in the background, all we do, let's shape two, let's drag this all the way to the bottom, down to shape two. And then let's view our animation. And there we go."
