I followed the directions in the post - [http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15819](http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15819) - , and the Add Shape Hint is in embedded light gray colors (it wont let me select) i tried doing it on hte next (and empty) frame but it wouldnt work. i tried making another keyframe in frame 10 and it still wouldnt work. what am I doing wrong.
If u still aren’t sure what im doing im trying to morph liek a square to a circle (as a very simple example).

1. make a square - don’t make it into a symbol or anything place it on keyframe one
2. make a circle - don’t make it into a symbol or anything place it on keyframe ten
3.click on keyframe one
3. goto properties(flashMX)
4. choose shape tween
5. do the same thing for keyframe ten
6. you’re done
don’t need any shape hints for this one

Howdy…
Select the text and use Break Apart (Ctrl-B) to create a shape out of the text and do the same thing…
