curve problem

[Mclong]

I have problems with curving a shape, I want to make a line that curves but when I do it changes all the lines befor the 1 i want to curve, I allready ask about this problem and the answers where:

-Make certain your selection scope is not set to all frames.
Then, in the frame you want to curve in add a curve to the shape.

-Also, if the shape is a symbol which is the default set in File > Preferences, point changes in one frame instance will affect all. Change the default or on a shape by shape basis, use the Properties popup Is a Symbol property. Symbols result in significant swf file savings but are not appropriate for shape tweening type animations.

I need another solution, I have the demo maybe that is the problem?

Is this what you mean? See the attached fun file. If it is, go to the properties and change "Is a symbol" to no. Then when you add frames, the other lines will not change. Hope this answers the question as I had a hard time with this concept at first.

Go to file>>preferences>>drawing/selection and unselect the first box that asks about symbol. (this may be slightly different with a demo version).

To stay on these lines, what do the older artists say when they see people using flash to do cartoons? I mean the ones who actually drew a thousand pics by hand for 30 seconds of a cartoon. Such as Warner with the Road Runner/Bugs Bunny series. Do they yell out "In my day we did not have any sissy flash...?
