TWEENED ANIMATION - Using a motion path

Click frame number 40 of Guide layer and choose Insert > Frame (F5). Similarly click frame number 40 of WWW layer and press F5. We have inserted these frames so that WWW picture and motion guide remain visible throughout the movie play.

STEP 8:

Click frame number 20 of Suite101 layer and press F6 to insert keyframe. Drag Suite101 picture to position shown in the figure so that its center point is over the elliptical path. A white ring appears at the center point when it is locked to the motion guide.

STEP 9:

Click frame number 40 of Suite101 layer and press F6. Drag Suite101 picture so that its center point is over another end of the elliptical path.

STEP 10:

Click frame number 10 of Suite101 layer and choose Insert > Create Motion Tween. Similarly click frame number 30 of Suite101 layer and choose Insert > Create Motion Tween.

STEP 11:

Click frame number 1 and press ENTER to play the animation. Waa! It's a nice but one thing is looking very hideous. The Suite101 picture should go smaller when it reaches behind the WWW picture so click frame number 20 of Suite101 layer and open Transform panel. Tick the Constrain, type 50 in the width box and press ENTER.

STEP 12:

Choose Control > Test Movie. One thing you will notice that motion guide does not appear in exported movie preview. That's all.
