Yes it is CS4, I have not yet covered Classic Tween in school. And could not sleep trying to start a school project got up and have been struggling since very early this morning. Thanks again. I will try to pass it forward when I have learned enough to help someone else. Wow, it worked, thank you. Yes it is CS4, I have not yet covered Classic Tween in school.

What version of flash are you using to make the tween? If Flash CS4, then there three kinds of Tween you can choose from: Motion Tween / Shape Tween / Classic Tween. If the arrow for the tween shows a dashed line, then something is wrong with the tween (such as a missing symbol). I would suggest starting with Classic Tween, which is the way things were done before Flash CS4. @Donalda Brook

Made a mc symbol of it and brought it to the stage, and motion tweened it across the stage to test if it was working. Play movie and I see nothing. I have had no problems tweening vector images. Can not figure out what I am doing wrong. Thanks. Donalda I am just learning flash, and have imported a psd file, import to stage.

I was out of the flash world for several months, but I’m back to it now. Sorry I had no response for you Tom, I hope you figured it out.

I'd known about this ability in Flash, and having wide experience in 3D modeling and animation, I've very used to the concept of IK. It's about time the added the ability of IK and, subsequently, chains in Flash. Jesse—
