FLASH: Tweening objects created in FreeHand?

[Kenneth C. Sherwood]

BLATANT NEWBIE QUESTION #1:


If, in Flash 3, I draw a "T" and an "H" and an "E", of different colors, on

different frames, I *can* get a morphing effect (via Tweening/Shape), with

*gradual* color changes from T through H to E.


However, if I create the T, H, and E by working in FreeHand 8, converting

text to paths, and adding desired color, then *pasting* into the particular

frames, I *can't* seem to get the same effect.


I've searched the manual to no avail.


Why are the images created in Flash behaving differently than the images

created in FreeHand?


I suspect it has something to do with the way I'm creating and/or saving

and/or exporting / not exporting the images in FreeHand, but other than

that, I've haven't a clue. Is there a particular format I have to save them

in? I've tried normal format, and eps. I've also tried exporting in eps.

None of these variations seem to work.


I *have* set my Export Preferences in FreeHand to CYMK and RGB as advised

in the Flash manual.


What am I missing?


Thanks in advance,


Ken Sherwood
