Duplicating tweened symbols

[Jay Brown]

Hi all,


Say you have a symbol that is tweened. A bouncing ball that stretches at

the top of its bounce and squashes at the bottom. Works great.


Then duplicate it and change the colours in the key frames.


The motion remains, but the tweening of the shapes is gone.

Re-establishing the tweening doesn't help.


Is this a no-no? Let's say it is.


Is there a way to convert a tweened animation to a frame animation

without rebuilding from scratch? This would require Flash to interpolate

the tweened frames and from these, create individual frames.


If this is not built in, it would be a great wish item for the next

version.


The only way I can think of to create smooth animation is to place the

tweened symbol, then duplicate and resize the original sprite frame by

frame. Finally, make this a symbol to replace the tweened version.


Any thoughts?


TIA,

JayB
