 Subject: FLASH: Shape tweening a circle



 Ok, trying to do something seemingly simple.


 The effect I am trying to achive is this:


 I want a small circle to get progressively bigger, and each successive

 growth of the circle to stay as the next one appears, eventually reaching a

 big circle, and having all the previous, smaller circles, then dissapear

 (wheh). The visual effect would be similiar to sonar waves pulsing outward

 (or tracers if you got a little wild in your teenage years).


 What I've done so far:


 I created the small circle, made it a symbol. Created enough frames to

 cover the shape changes. Created a keyframe at the end of those frames.

 Inserted the symbol. Scaled it to the size of the largest circle I wanted.

 Clicked on one of the frames in between the two keyframes, went to

 Modify>Frames>Tween Tab; chose motion tween (should I be choosing shape

 tween----> but you can't shape tween a symbol, right?).


 The smaller circle then does in fact progressively "morph" into the larger

 one, but how do I then make those intermediate frames still visible, and

 then dissapear on the last frame?


 Thanks in advance,


 Joe
