Morphing into a JPG

I've used Adobe Illustrator to create a title for my page using 3 simple colors (blue, black, yellow) and saved it as a jpg. I was wondering if you can use Flash to have 3 bouncing balls (blue, black, yellow colored balls) and eventually meet each other, and then shape tween into the jpg title. If so, how? And if you can do something like that. Will the movie take up that part of the screen where my title is. Or will the three bouncing balls morph into the title, and then I can have the title sitting there on the top of my webpage in jpg form, not moving, and not a movie file. Thanks.

Okay if I understand you correctly i would do the following.

Since you are already working with flash scrap the jpg. you don’t need it.

Create you 3 balls and graphic symbols for the bouncing action.

Animate them in whichever manner you need.

Once the bouncing is over, place a key frame in each corresponding layer. in that keep frame break apart the graphic symbol do you have the raw vector shape.

a few frames down, place your title image as a vector graphic, if it is from illustrator you should be able to paste it in, or import as an .eps

Once that is done right click any of the frames between the balls and the title and add a shape tween.

also pu a stop action on that last frame so it stays on the title and does not keep looping through.

That should do it. The main draw back to this is that shape tweens are processed by the users computer, so some times they go very slow (not connection speed, processor speed)

I hope this makes sense

is there any reason why i cannot load in the adobe illustrator picture as .eps? i try to import it into flash and i always get an error along the lines of missing information.

you need to save it as an .esp or export it as an .eps first form illustrator.

you should be able to highlight all the content in illustator and hit Control + C (copy) on the key board and control + V (paste) in the flash and it should past right in since they are both vector based programs.

im an not trying to belittle your computer knowledge by explaining cut and paste, but i just wanted to make sure.

hope this works for you
