Flash Tutorial 2: Shape Tweening
Shape Tweening is basicall where you have 2 shapes and you morph one into the shape of the 2nd shape. The procedure to do this is quite simple really :

1. 1st open a blank Flash Document

2. create a keyframe(select and press F6) on the first frame in the timeline(top of flash window)

3. Use the circle tool and draw a circle of desirable size on the canvas.

4. Select a subsequent frame on the timeline like frame 24 (sec @ 12frames/sec) press F6 to insert a keyframe. Your drawn cirlce should appear again after this step.

5. DO NOT CONVERT the circle to a SYMBOL - unlike the motion tween, shape tween doesn't work with symbols.

6. Adjust the shape of the circle in the final keyframe using the free transform tool (press Q)

7. click on one of the frames between the keyframes you created (1-24) and on the property inspector (on the menu windows-properties) select shape from the tween drop list box.

8. The frames between keyframes will turn blue or green and if you did it right there will be a line with an arrow - if you did it wrong the line will be dashed with no arrow.

9. Preview your shape tween.

  5. Matching Sound To Animations In Flash

    This is something I worked at for a while. I used to play sounds by selecting start on the
    properties tab, and the animation never lined up with the sound waves on timeline. If you switch it
    to stream, it changes the wave and allows animation to be aligned to the sound. Also, a sound can be
    cut short by not extending the frames enough, so beware. Hope I helped again Peace Aaron....

    Sprites, as you may or may not know, are pictures in a series used for animations. They are very
    helpful in flash as you can use pre-made/pre-sized pictures and don't have to draw the animation
    yourself. To use a sprite, first open a new window. Make sure the sprites are saved as separate
    files, and then click file->import->import to library and import all the sprites. select the first
    frame, and drag the picture from the library to the stage. Take note of where it is located on the
    stage by looking at the properties tab. click 2-6 frames later(depending on how fast ....

    that takes up most of the canvas ie. jpeg or something. 2. Insert a new layer into the timeline.
    (select the layer 1 and click the button in the lower left corner of the window) 3. Lock 'Layer
