I already modified and broke them apart. The first shape no error. The second shape it says it wont tween grouped objects or symbols which mine isnt! I dont know what I am missing :(
Not sure I understand your example.
But, maybe you have differing content on the connecting keyframes? Maybe explain your problem in greater detail. I use flash daily, and I have a feeling this is something you will have no problem fixing... just need to decide what to fix.

Also.... for future reference: If your using flash regularly you should join flashkit.com

Make sure your second shape is on another layer. Flash can be funny like that.

Will try using a seperate layer for the second shape, can flash tween across different layers? I can get it to tween on the same layer but not all shapes work!
Another problem is when I published as gif. it animates at half the speed, why? Also the quality is inferior and the colors exhabit banding!

Maybe it's because Flash is just plain bad? I heard that it eats kittens.
GIF quality concerns? That's your 256 colour limit. Frame rate-- check what your export settings are.
Oops. A distraction.
Broacher..... did you just say flash is bad!?!?!?!?!?!?

It doesnt say anything about fps in publish settings. I had specified 30fps and it played at 30fps when I previewed the playback but in gif. it appears to play much slower?

Make sure you are not trying to tween a bitmap and a symbol. Flash automatically converts them when you copy and paste in separate frames. Best thing to do is copy the copied image an paste in place of the original.

you are not trying to tween 2 shapes on the same layer are you?
no it can't tween across layers - but nor can it handle 2 shapes turning into 2 other shapes on the layer either.

I just can't wait until CS3 when Adobe fixes all the crap things in Flash to make it easier to work with. Hurray for some decent vector tools!!
We can close this thread. Photoshop123 sent me the .fla, and we have fixed the problem.
He was infact trying to shape tween two bitmaps.
Now he knows.

Wait!!! What!!!!
CIB!!! What are you talking about? "all the crap things in Flash" LIKE WHAT!!! Watch what you say around here... I make my entire living working, almost 100% of the time in flash.

Wouldn't you rather have he vector tools and shapes act more like Illy? What about streamlining the pallets like adobe's instead of the clunky pallets like the current version?
