Hi. If any of you remember Organic Template Demo on Flashden back in the day (the old swf is attached here), I have a question about the kind of animation that's in it.

When the preloader animates in, and then the Home page background/box animates in as well... these shapes come in a very cool, organic and bouncy type of way. Is this kind of animation simply a shape tween done very smoothly, or can you do this kind of animation with AS3 and a tweening engine?

I'm trying to see how I can build a basic animation like that.. from a single line, bouncing all the way up to a square/rectangle. Any example tutorials out there showing this ? Smooth and elastic like that.

Thanks

You could do it with a well done shape tween (which is how I would do it), looks possible if you ask me, but if you want it coming dynamic, then I really have no idea how to get at it.

as far as I can see, it looks dynamic.Either that, or they just made a few shape tweens and looped through them.

A shape tween really makes it a whole lot easier ;)

Coding it would be unneccesarily complex, since dynamism is not needed anyway.
