    Default Basic animation

    I am just starting with basic animation. I took a simple rectangle and moved and resized over ten frames. As soon as I previewed it moved smoothly - very exiting.

    I made a more complex shape from several simple shapes and moved that around over ten steps and it just jumps from one to the other. In both cases I named the shape.

    Using Photo and Graphic Designer 2013. Any ideas why a simple shape seems to tween and a more complex one doesn't?

    Thanks

    Phil

    Hi Phil,
    You can change the size, position and colour of the shape but you can't change the shape, it won't tween as you've discovered. You can use basic shapes to look like it's one shape cloning into a 2nd shape but it's just a cheat really.

    Well done Egg. That shows why I always liked your tutorials and learned so much from you (and Gary), my mentors.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    very good egg

    I did a quick psuedo-morph test in xdpx - but it does not work properly in flash [have I ever mentioned how much I dislike flash? I believe I have] - but works fine as avi... the xdpx export was a bit big, so I've squeezed it down to just under the forum limit in camtasia [it's 487KB, forum limit for this file-type 500KB]
