| Post subject: | Tweening... |
I am extremely new to Flash, and since I'm not very artistic... Well. I just want to see what I can do, although there is a problem. I did the tweening tutorial, and it didn't really help. How do I tween a shape (a frame) to slowly transform into another shape (frame) - I don't think shape tweening is the answer (but what do I know lol). Basically, what I mean is how would I make a stickmans arm move from one position to another without doing all the frames in between. At first I thought it was simply motion tweening - but when I try to experiment you can only tween the whole picture from one position to another, not a specific part. Thanks for any help - and plz no flaming. |

hrm depends on what you're trying to do with the arm. If you're using a shape tween (the devil) to do some arm bending, I'd recommend using shape hints and lines. If you're just moving the arm segment about, I'd make a seperate movieclip and rotate/resize/whatever and motion tween it. Ideally, you could do it all with actionscript, but it'd take a great deal of effort. -Z |
