Morphing one shape into another?

[gwpriester]

Is there any way to morph a circle into a square?

I tried using two named shapes, a square and a circle and fading one in while the other faded out but it does not really look like one shape is becoming the other.

Didn't it work with the blend tool?

Yes, I can create a blend between the circle and square. But I want to do this with two shapes in Flash.

I tried making a Quickshape square and making the second image a Quckshape Circle but this did not work.

Can you give me some steps?

According to the help file, the only things you can do are:

1. Move
2. Scale
3. Squash/Skew
4. Rotate
5. Transparency
6. Color Transform

It also mentions that one thing that isn't possible is to change the shape of objects between keyframes.

This is listed in the "What Flash Can and Cannot Do" help topic.

Gary,

Odats correct. You can't tween from one shape to another.

What you can do tho is to create a blend between 2 shapes and convert them to editable shapes then ungroup them.

Now you need to distribute the shapes across layers.

Then you can export your swf.

Wanted to make a video, but Egg and Odat got ahead of me

I guess Egg's tutorial is pretty self explainable.

I tried this with xarapro without refining it is this the effect you want Gary?

Something more like this. This is more like traditional animation. I guess where there's a will there's a way.
