AS automatically generates a shape tween between “shape1” and “shape9”
maybe i’m still crazy. like i said before, with my little knowledge of AS, i shouldn’t even ask this question. but i guess it’s the only way i’ll learn.

I’ve never heard of doing that, but that doesnt mean its not possible. You may be ablel to create some random shape using a/s but not related to a tween. If that is what you’re looking for, I would suggest going into the book Flash Math Creativity.
Here’s another thought… you could create several mc’s that act as masks and call those masks from actionscript, perhaps even combine them for some wild effect. That should prove interesting. Dont forget to show us your work to see how you finally accomplished the task. Good luck!

You could also use Supra’s tutorial about the random motion, and draw dynamic lines between the points, with a dynamic fill. Just 2 or 3 lines of code.

pom … how do you do a dynamic fill
im gonna have to go through that random motion tutorial when i get home. sounds interesting

Not my code, Shuga 😛
But if you look closely at Dan’s code, you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding the command…

that’s exactly what i was looking for! that’s amazing. i think i’ll tweek it so that it stays much smaller and moves a little crazier, but besides that.
thanks a ton. absolutely amazing. this thread is site of the week.

Well isn’t it wierd a blob that was requested and look what is used in this example…
you can even download the fla…
