WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death.
Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best day of ur life tomorrow. u will either get kissed or asked out, if u break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. in 53 mins someone will say i love you or im sorr

I'm still having a problem...
I followed all of the steps, and when I play it, my image just flashes from one place to another, not a smooth slide transition.

Easy mistake!: Take a look at the FIRST frame, the original drawing/picture AKA movieclip that you moved disappeared, right? If so:
1. MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON THE FIRST FRAME.
2. Go to your library (usually on the right side of the screen).
3. Drag the movieclip to your stage (the stage is the spot where the animation happens).
4. Create Motion Tween in the empty gap between the first and last keyframe.
5. Test Movie!
***Does it work? If not, message me back and I'll try to find out whats wrong.***
But if it didn't work and you're really eager (like me) to make your animation:
Try making the tween all over again, here's a real simple explanation:
~Motion Tween~
1. Upload/Draw image.
2. Convert to Symbol (Movieclip).
3. Drag first frame to 15th frame.
4. Go back to FIRST frame and drag the movieclip from the library to the stage. (Make sure you're on the first frame! And make sure your two frames' movieclips aren't in the same place or else they won't have anywhere to move!)
5. Right-click to the space right of the first frame or anywhere in that empty gap and click "Create Motion Tween".
6. Test Movie

Here's the problem I'm having with Shape Tweens:
Whenever I do one, these random stupid lines seem to "change position" and just fly over the image of the object that's being tweened.
How do I get rid of those? I've tried using shape hints, but that only makes the tween look even MORE unnatural. Sometimes the color also disappears
Any help? Just for the record, the object is NOT a symbol.

Though if you look closely at step 3 for shape tweens, I have the same problem, its just kinda fast so might be hard to notice.

Ya shape tween isn't the most natural looking animation i'm afraid. The best result I think would be frame by frame to get exactly what you want. Flash just makes up a random animation to transform it. Simple shapes like the one I made don't have this problem.
