Flash 101 (part 3): Bouncing Around - A Tint Of Scarlet
( Page 4 of 9 )

Play the clip again - your ellipse should change shape while its moving across the Stage.



Let's add a little colour shift as well, shall we? With the instance in frame #10 still selected, pop open the Window -> Panels -> Effect dialog, and choose "Tint" from the drop-down menu. Pick a tint colour - the fill colour of the flattened ellipse in frame #10 should immediately change to the selected colour.



When you play the clip, your ellipse will not only change shape, but colour too.
