  21. Shape Hints • Shape Hints are used with shape tweening to give a higher degree of control in the morphing process • They are especially useful when morphing complex objects, like text

  22. Review Questions

  23. Masks • Masks allow you a way of selectively showing and hiding content in a movie, based on the position of the mask • With Masks you need at least two layers: one for the Mask and one that gets Masked (similar to the Guide and Guided layers)

  24. Animating Masks • Besides using static background layers, you can animate the content in the Masked layer

  25. Masking Multiple Layers • One Mask layer can be applied to multiple Masked layers • Each Masked layer has to be positioned under the Mask layer

  26. Text Masks • One of the easiest ways to create Masks is to use the Text tool

  27. Bitmap Masks • Flash can internally create a kind of vector mask to cut out the background of the imported bitmap images, thus making the bitmaps behave as vector images
