It took mea month or so but I wasn't working on it constantly. It was only at the end that I worked out you don't need to draw every single frame.

Yes Shape motion could have taken care of some of theless complicated movements and with Shape hints as well it can prevent that broken vector effect that Flash is famous for.
In a short while perhaps tonight or tommorrow I will post my first full flash game. I'm in the process of putting the finishing touches together - preloader, credits etc. so be warned Mad Maiden will crush your feeble world!

I tried shape motion beforebut the random flipping of the shapes drove me insane so I gave up. I like the look of hand-drawn stuff now anyway.
Shape hints...?

Shape hints allow you to control the way the shape morphsModify... Shape... Add Shape Hint (Ctrl+Shift+H) this puts a hint on the stage on your first frame which you can move into position and it's associate hint will appear on the last frame which you also position and Flash will follow the hints rather than do it's own stuff.
