Create a shape tween

With shape tweening, you specify attributes for a shape in one keyframe,
and then modify the shape or draw another shape in a subsequent
keyframe. As with motion tweening, Flash creates the animation in the
frames between the keyframes.
You'll now set up a tween for the tire's shadow so that as the tire bounces,
the shadow moves and fades.
1. Click the ShadowAnim layer to select it.
2. Select Frame 30 and press F6 to insert a keyframe; then select Frame 15
and press F6 to insert a keyframe.
3.
With the playhead on Frame 15, select the Selection tool. Drag the tire
shadow slightly up and to the right.
4. With Frame 15 still selected, select the Eyedropper tool in the Tools
panel, and then click the shadow object.
