animating an ungrouped object?

[BadBadNeil]

simple question:

How do you make a ungrouped object animate (tween) without drawing each frame?

I want to make a line move downward and bend and blur then go back straight again. The only way I can think of is to draw each frame and thats a pain in the arse. How is it done?

Thanks

If you want to make the line actually curve and band you'll have to use a shape tween. If you just want to make a movieclip animate then you use a motion tween. Both processes involve creating one keyframe at the beginning of the animation, and one at the end (with the adaptations) and then right clicking the first frame and selecting Motion Tween or Shape Tween. See the Flash tutorial which ship with Flash. They explain it better than I can.

oh yeah i knew that stuff about the tweening i guess it is the blur effect on the line that is screwing everything up, for some reason the blur turns the line invisible....hmmm not sure.
