Flash 8 : Motion tween along the path

Just imagine we drive on the road. What would you do if you see a corner ? of course you will follow the road right ? We can do the same the thing with flash. We can make a animation that move along a path we create. Instruction below will guide you.

Create a new movie. At frame 1 create a circle.

Now add a motion guide. Choose Insert | Motion guide. Or you can just click at the button below the layer.

Rename the layer 1 as circle.

Now insert a keyframe at frame 50.

At frame 1 on guide layer, we draw a line using pencil tool.

Now, move the circle to one end of the line.

At frame 50, we move the circle the other end.

Back to frame 1, open the panel properties. Change the tween to the motion.

Do the same thing at frame 50.

Save your work. Preview it. You will see that the circle moving along the path you draw. You can hide the path, by clicking at the eye symbol at the guide layer.
