Hey,
I’m trying to make a nice shape tween. And of course it looks awful because Flash just messes everything. I remember somebody tellin gme to use shape hints, but I can’t find them anywhere. Can anybody help?
If you go to Help/Using Fonts and then click the Search button and run a search for “Shape Hints” You will get something that says “Using Shape Hints” Click that and it tells you how to use “Shape Hints”.
The trick with shape hints is to position them on the important points of the initial image - things that you really don’t want going all (for want of a better word) ‘squiffy’. It’s kind of a case of working out how edges and corners translate from one image into the next.
One thing I’ve found the more you use shape hints, the better at selecting the best parts you become. I’ve got complicated shapes down to only needing 2 sets of hints. Yay for me.
