Tween Question

[nasaboy007]

ok well ive been working on this problem for a long time and i just cant seem to figure it out... mite be because i havnt had sleep in like 2 days

anyway, im doin this really simple stick figure flash where each limb is just a line. but, when i rotate it 45 degrees or more and tween it, the lines kinda scrunch together. all my other tweens just move normally, like they should. i mean, the body turns into like an asterisk instead of a stick figure because the lines are moving individually. i hope i make sense...

does anyone know why this is happening?

Hi nasaboy,

If your working with a stick fiqure in flash each limb must be in a seperate layer.

Each limb must be a movie clip.

Working in the scene select one of the movie clips (change the center axis point thing to be at the joint of the leg).

Dont double click into the movieclip.

Make a new key frame on that layer, say 5 frames down.

Select the movie clip in this frame rotate the actual movieclip how you want it.

Now right click in between the two key frames and select create tween.

Bang, you should have a fine motion.
