    I need some advice.

    I'm planning on importing a very simple logo to Flash (from Illustrator). I'm keeping it simple (without colours or anything) for now because I have no idea how Flash will handle it, and I could always add colour to it in Flash.

    This logo will have vines slowly coming out of it. Should I draw the logo first in Illustrator, import it into Flash, draw in the vines (in Flash), and play around with the tweening? Or, if the tweening doesn't work well, import the logo with the vines and everything already drawn and erase bits of it for each frame? Or hand-draw the different frames? More tedious, I realize, but we haven't learned many things besides frame-by-frame animation, motion tweening, and shape tweening. We did learn about those guides to help with the tween, but I haven't gotten it right yet. Perhaps some Google searching would be best.

    Thanks.

    • you could use a tweened mask and reveal more and more as the mask grows?7point34
    • if the vines have leaves i would add those separately... not under the mask. have them pop open or slowly uncurl7point34
