so i wanted to start making animations with the shape tween
and i got this problem wich ( i know it can be fixed by removing tweens and making normal frames for a few frames )
but i wonder if theres a faster way to fix it
see this picture
http://prntscr.com/6aeq9b
notice the elbow and the knee
the elbow seems to be fine in the picture
but a perfect example would be the knee
its like
at frame 10 the knee is at knee's position and feet is at feet's postion
but at the end of the shape tween knee is at feet's position and feet is at knee's position
it flips the line

get it ?
k cool

so if you know a way to fix this problem, let me know ;-;

Hmmm, I don't know what it's called..."shape hints"? They act like guides to help smooth the tweens along.

-Go to the very first tweening frame. Hold Ctrl+Shift+H. You'll you your (first) shape hint labeled "a".
-Put the shape hint on either the knee or the feet. Make sure that it is snaped to the point of the line.
-Go to the very last tweening frame. You'll see another shape hint labeled "a". If you put your shape hint to the knee before, then put this shape hint to the knee.
-If Flash knows that you're using the shape hint properly, your shape hint (on the very last tweening frame) will turn to green.

I hope you'll understand. (Especially this "tweening frame" that I mentioned. :P)
