Morphing Simple Lines

and Fills

Flash can transform both  ll shapes and lines

(strokes). In this section, you try some shape-

changing tasks with both types of shapes.

To transform an oval into a rectangle:

1.

In a new Flash document or on a new

layer, in frame 1, draw an outline oval on

the Stage (Figure 10.6).

2.

In the Timeline, select frame 5, and

choose Insert > Timeline > Blank

Keyframe.

Flash creates a keyframe but removes all

content from the Stage.

3.

On the Stage, in frame 5, draw an outline

rectangle (Figure 10.7).

Don’t worry about placing the rectangle

in exactly the same location on the Stage ...
