i guess shape tweening in MX would be a better way to ask it ---

Create your button. Add a keyframe to your Over state on the button timeline. Turn that shape into a movie clip symbol. Open up the movie clip and create the shape tween on that timeline. ---

hi beta, downer man is back poking his nose in again lol when he makes the mc on the over frame and selects it for editing should’nt he turn it back to a graphic to tween it? i can never tween anything unless i turn it back to a graphic first (or is that only for motion tweening) Gary ---

You never have to create a graphic for tweens. You can have the raw drawing in Frame 1, insert a keyframe on frame 10 (or whatever) and when you create the tween between the two, the first frame will automatically convert to a symbol, you may have to click on the last frame and add insert a motion tween there so that frame is purple and everything should work perfectly. That is what I do at least. ---

Well I had someone else on this board thing I was a girl and Kamon said guys/gals I assumed he/she may have thought I was a girl… since I have the meadows in my footer and the flower in my avatar and everything. Well by raw drawing I mean at the part where you can select the drawing and edit it directly. Which is also where it is if you double click a movie clip (or if its a movie clip in a movie clip then you have to double click twice). ahhh… nevermind 😛 I should be changing my avatar soon though… I like my footer too much to change it just yet… so I am going to remake my avatar into something that matched my footer. ---

The flash thing in my signature is called a Flash Footer… the avatar is the little image under my name in the left column. I don’t think it makes you gay… let me make sure it is ok with my girlfriend though. She might not like you playing with my footer 😛
