I want to make a tween that simply enlarged an item. When I try to do this with a shape tween, every now in then the picture, instead of just zooming morphs some weird way. Some one please tell me how to just enlarge something using a tween! Thanks.

if your trying to shape tween and actual image, it will distort, not sure what f1 does?

something everyone who opens Flash for the first time should do…
hit the freaking F1 key, and follow some of the tips…

if you are simply going to enlarge the object, use a motion tween. Or if you are determined to use a shape tween try adding some shape hints
