People need to realize that design is all about TRENDS and during certain time periods things are going to have many similarities. Compare it to Art History…there are many different periods throughout the past- impressionist, post-impressionist etc. and you will find many similiarities in artworks done at the same time. It is human nature. We find and see things we like and either conciously or subconciously, we copy them. There is a quote something like, “When people are free to do as they choose, they usually imitate each other.” I think I made the point anyway. I am just getting tired of looking through these site reviews and reading about how sites are ripoffs of other sites… :tb: ---

That looks like it’s done with a shape tween and maybe some masking. It’s pretty simple, great for transitions and looks really cool. That’s why you see it alot in some of the newer web sites. Hope that helps. ---

Here’s how you do it. 1. make a shape on the stage. (Do NOT make it a symbol otherwise it won’t work) 2. Make a key frame on your timeline. (The number of frames between your animation is up to you.) 3.On this new keyframe you can do one of 2 things: \>\>Drop in a new shape for your original shape to morph into. \>\>Select the anchor points of your original shape and move them into the next shpae you desire. \>\>\>\>\>ex. if you made a box and you want the right corner to cave in you’d move the right corner toward the center of the box in your new keyframe. 4.Go to your property panel, where it says tween, and select “shape” for your first frame. 1. Press play and it should animate. To manually modify your shape tween, so that the points of movement are what you desire rather than what FMX automatically makes for you, go to modify\>shape\>shape hints. That should do it.:run: ---

no matter what we all want to believe, everything is a copy of something else, and has been for years and years. Let’s get over it, cuz I’m also tired of hearing about it. Well said jillymo. 😉 and I don’t see how anyone can say this site is anything like 2a. ---

To get a better shape tween dont forget to use shape hints! it kinda gives it “hints” to what shape your trying to achieve. 🙂 :::soutly::😏::
