Guide Motion Tween

Creating a Guided Motion Tween in Flash

Steps to Follow:

Create a vector/plain text using any of the drawing tools in Flash, say a text with 'Flash' typed and break it using Break Apart (Ctrl + B) as done in the previous example and put each alphabet in different layers and name the layers as shown in the picture below.

1. Insert a guide layer by right-clicking the topmost layer and select 'Add Guide Layer' (Insert-->Timeline-->Motion Guide), draw any path using the pencil tool in the guide layer as shown in the example.
2. Now create Motion tween by selecting the object in the 1st frame and snapping its registration point to one end of the path.
3. Snap the object in the last frame to the other end of the path in the guide layer.
4. Repeat the same for all the objects (alphabets) by snapping their registration points to the path in the guide layer.
5. Save your work and test the Movie (Ctrl + Enter). That's it you have learnt how to create motion along a guided path.
