So I took an object and created a new movie clip.

I went to Frame 5 and hit F6 for a Keyframe. I then made it very skinny in Frame 5, keyframed to Frame 6, and flipped it horizontally. I then made another Keyframe at Frame 10 and made the object back to its original size, only flipped horizontally.

I tweened from Frame 1 to 5, and Frame 6 to 10.

The first tween does what I’d like but the second is… crazy. I even tried deleting frames 6 to 10, copy and pasting frames 1 to 5 at frame 6 and reversing the animation, but that didnt work either.

What am I doing wrong? How can I make it spin?
