In order to create motion with shapes in an Animate project, you apply a special tween, called a shape tween, to a span of frames between two keyframes. See how to apply a shape tween to your slash to have it quickly appear across the screen.
- [Instructor] In order to create motion with shapes…in an Animate project, you apply…a special tween called a shape tween…to a span of frames between two keyframes.…We'll go ahead and apply a shape tween to our slash…to have it quickly appear across the screen.…So, the first thing we're going to need to do…is to create a number of additional frames.…Right now, we only have a single frame,…at frame one, and that's not going…to allow any sort of animation.…For animation, you need at least two frames.…
Let's go to the two second mark,…and I'm going to click and drag to highlight,…including those within the static background folder,…and then choose insert, timeline, frame, or hit F5.…As you can see, this extends all of the frames…in these layers out to the two second mark,…and if we open up our static background layer,…since we had that selected, as well,…it also receives those frames.…
At this point, we can move the play head back and forth,…although there are no changes in properties on the stage,…so everything remains static.…
