- Guides can help you create more complex animation paths
- Create two layers and ctrl click/rt click the top layer and choose guide option from the drop down list.
- Layer 1: the object
- Layer 2: the guide
- On the guide layer draw a line with pen/pencil/pen tool (this will become invisible as a guide)
- place an object on the object layer and convert it to a symbol and place it at the beginning of the line (make sure the anchor point is on the line)
- Determine how many frames you want the animation take place then create a keyframe
- place the object at the end of the line and place a classic tween between keyframes.
- If you select the first keyframe on the object layer and go to the properties menu click the "orient to path" checkbox for a more realistic animation
