That was GREAT info!
that’s help me a lot I don’t know anything about animations in flash

How can you possibly do this without the line and color distortion making the shape unrecognizable as it tweens? How did you create the lightbulb in illustrator? There is too much visual damage to the image as it tweens for this to work unless you have some special way of creating your images in illustrator.
thnx Mr GREEN you helped me alot with my idea of taking AI drawing and animating them.. so cool.. thnx agaain
Maybe I’m missing something with the shape tween. Every time I try to use it, my object breaks apart into a mish-mash of shapes and doesn’t do a nice gradual distort like in your example. I know there are hints, but these don’t seem to help me either. I’m using CS4. Any thoughts? Thanks.
