Is that a way to create a simple card opening like the jpg i attach?  
i know can make a card opens horizontally but how to do vertically?(With angle) Ah, that should be a photo on top of the card. Hope u all understand what i mean.  
Thanx!

There’s no way to do this simply, as it won’t be a proper shape tween (they work only with vectors). Actually, the hard part there is to get the perspective you want, as there’s no _simple_ way to emulate the free transform tool.

But you can check Ericlin’s skew function, it might help you: [http://www.geocities.com/~dr\_ericlin/flash/indexgeo.html](http://www.geocities.com/~dr_ericlin/flash/indexgeo.html)

I’m just saying that it’s almost impossible to get the perspective you want. It HAS been done, but you’d have to cut your pic into small slices, and resize each one of them to get your effect. Painful :-\

If there’s an easier way, I’d be glad to hear it 🙂
