Hey everyone, I have a movie clip of a head that has little circuitry stuff in it and a line running around the edge of it (the clip is located at http://www.csoftwares.com/test/head.html). As you can see, the line around the edge of the head is a bit choppy in it's movement. I ended up redrawing the lines around the edge every frame, because I don't know how to make it curve with a motion guide as it moves. Not sure if I've explained this well enough, but if I have, is there anyone with a suggestion on how to do this? I have to redo that animation, and I don't feel like drawing 70+ frames again. Thanks!!!

I figured it out, and it's way simple. Makes me wish I had played around with the settings a bit more the first time. When creating the motion tween, all I needed to do was set the Rotate to "none" and check "Orient to path". Both options are on the Properties window under the tween section.
