Hello!
I'm new here and relatively new to flash too.. I'm doing a site that has a preloader. I use CS3 which has this wonderful Oval primitive tool. My goal is a visual percentage indicator, like a gauge. I tought it would be easy to animate oval primitive so that i just animate the end angle property. So i made a movie clip that has oval primitive inside. in keyframe 1, the start angle is 120 end end angle is 121. on frame 50 start angle remains the same and end angle is 60. And here's the problem:
When I apply a shape tween between these two frames, program tweens the oval primitive as well in scale. The gauge "grows" to it's final form rather than fills up, and that's so not what I wanted.
I can't apply motion tween to it. I really want to tween that parameter, not the actual shape. any ideas how to do that? -Ville
