Shape Tween help....

[nimmy]

hello,

i am trying to make a shape tween where a horizontal line moves downwards, and as it moves down, it starts morphing into a sentence and when it stops moving, the line is gone and you can only see the sentence.

is that possible? can you walk me through this?

thanks!

Hi,

Shape tweens take a little practice. Place your line on the first frame and your sentence on the last frame. Modify each keyframe to shape tween. On the last frame, select the text, select .... Modify.... Break Apart. This will allow your line to morph into the text sentence. However, flash will take the path of least resistance and you may need to use "Shape Hints" to make the animation appear as you would like. Here is a tutorial that might help explain shape hints....
