Tweening shapes

By tweening shapes, you can create an effect similar to morphing, making one shape appear to
change into another shape over time. Flash can also tween the location, size, color, and opacity
of shapes.
Tweening one shape at a time usually yields the best results. If you tween multiple shapes at
one time, all the shapes must be on the same layer.
To apply shape tweening to groups, instances, or bitmap images, you must first break these
elements apart. See "Breaking apart groups and objects" on page
tweening to text, you must break the text apart twice to convert the text to objects. See
"Breaking text apart" on page
To control more complex or improbable shape changes, you use shape hints, which control
how parts of the original shape move into the new shape. See
on page 263.
