You can draw the guide with any tool that makes a line. One of the easiest ways

is to use the Oval or Rectangle tools.

Click on the first frame of the Guide layer.

Click on one of the shape tools, making sure the stroke is black and

there is no fill. (The guide layer is invisible in the final animation).

Draw out the path you want the initial to follow.

Note: Holding down the shift key while drawing produces a perfect circle. If you

are using the brush tool to draw the path, holding down shift will produce a

straight line. Make sure that each new line joins on to the one before to make the

path. If you want to move your path once you have drawn it, lock the other

layers, drag a box round the path to select it and then drag into position.

6. Positioning the initial along the guide line

Insert keyframes at 10 frame intervals along the initial layer:

Click on each of the keyframes in turn and position the initial by dragging it to

snap to the motion guide path you drew.

If you play the movie, you should see the initial jumping to different positions

round the path. All you need to do now is create motion tween between all the

keyframes in that layer. If the final ‘tween’ is a dashed line instead of an arrow,

right click on the final keyframe and click Create Motion Tween again.

7. Altering the transparency

You can make this initial change its transparency as it moves along the path.

Click on any of the keyframes, then click on the initial symbol itself to find the

graphic symbol properties panel at the bottom of the window.

Choose Alpha from the menu and adjust the percentage number or sliding scale.

Note that you can alter other colour properties like tint and brightness instead.

Now test the movie and save it.

8. Extension

Can you create a banner for a website where every letter of the site name does

something different? Remember that file size is important for websites, so use

symbols wherever possible. Note: FAQ1 (p18) explains how to change the shape

of the stage before you start.
