Opening a door into inside. How? Help please

[mx-guest2004]

Hi!
I'm trying to open a door into inside, just like a door which opens and you are standing outside. I think I have some problem with the registration point in a MC which is actually a jpg image of a door. I don't get the effect.
any help here?

Thanks

Thanks Ruben. Your are a great help here on thses forums.
How about that the door opens inside the "room". Your door opens outside. Is that the same?
The whole thing is a shape tween from a closed door into a opened door?

I think one can get the effect even with a bitmap image and free transform tool. I've tried with free transform but can't get the door skewd "inside".
I have tried with different positions of registration point but haven't got yet.
I attached an image of a door which shows which way the door must be transformed.

Well, I was thinking about making you a sample but my girlfriend's sitting on my lap for the moment, so here's how I'd do it:

Make a movieclip of the upper part of the door, and another one of the lower part of the door. Then make an animation of each part skewing, and mask them...

If you don't really understand what I'm talking about: just yell...Maybe I'll make you sample ;)

Thanks Ruben,
I think I understand what you mean by making 2 animations for the door. But what is masking for? This solution is a little time consuming. I can try. But what about masking? Masking what?

Thanks Ruben. I can understand now what you use mask for.
I must do this with an image (jpg).
Great help :)

Yeah, but if it's the image you used in the example it's not that hard, right?

Ruben,
As long as one doesn't need shape tweening, it's tha same as for this particular image. I mean if you have a bitmap than you must forget shape tweening for this problem. But your solution is motion tweening, so it has to be ok.
