i was browsing the top sites of kirupa and i noticed some pretty cool transition effects of one frame to another. here is an example:

when u choose a new topic from the menu, do you see how the coloured part becomes an oval, then totally fills up the screen, and then falls down? can you please show me some tutorials on how to do that? 🙂 thanks

I think those are shape tweens, using shape hints. Sorry i don’t know any tutorials, but its basically like making a motion tween except choosing shape 🙂
