Image Morphing - Adobe Flash Tips

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

Hi Guys! It is good time to tell visitors and Adobe Flash learners a great tip of Adobe Flash. Most of the time you have seen a image and text morphing in movies, serials and advertisements. Here we will discuss about it and tell you how can you create it by yourself. So get start from here:-

Start a new movie [CTRL+N]. Modify the size of your movie (Modify>Movie) to 150x150 pixels.
Enter any text on your main movie by clicking on the Text Tool Button . I used a Times New Roman font on this example and font size = 150. Use your mouse or your keyboard arrow to center the text.
While the text is highlighted, break it apart by pressing [CTRL+B] or (Modify>Break Apart)
Right-click your mouse on Frame 20 and insert a Blank Keyframe. Your animation will start from Frame 1 and will end at Frame 20.
Enter any text at Frame 20 by using the Text Tool Button . Break apart the new text by pressing [CTRL+B]
Double-click your mouse at Frame 1 to activate the Frame Properties window. Follow the same settings as shown below.
Your timeline should appear like the one shown on the left.
For more complex shape changes, Macromedia Flash has a Shape Hint where you can mark starting and ending points.
To do this, click on Frame 1 then press [CTRL+H] to add a shape hint and move the shape hint (see example) to the point you want to mark.
Go to the last keyframe (Frame 20) and move the shape hint that corresponds to the first point you have marked.
Go to Frame 1 and add another shape hint [CTRL+H] as shown at the left image.

Go the last frame and move the shape hint "b" as shown below.
Preview your animation by pressing [Enter] and start noticing the difference :)
