    Shape twin so EVIL!!!!!!

    I need 2 make a simple shape twin, with one triangle and just move one of the corners and i only want that specific corner to move but for some resons flash moves tree points. I have made an example of what i am talking about.

    Anyone have any idea about how to make this work, i have tryed all i know but still nothing.?

    And one more thing, can i add an anchor point (vertex) on an straight line??

    Do you have a line in that shape? Lines don't tween well at all. Try it with no outline, just fill.

    Add them anywhere to a curved line, by clicking the line with the pen tool. Remove them by clicking an anchor once, then again, while holding the Alt key. Watch the cursor for the minus or plus sign before you click, but as you sneak up on the line. Straight lines don't need them, you can just grab an end and make it longer or shorter, or curve it with the black arrow too.

    Anchor point is a node for line, on which you can change the direction as well as curve of a line.
    try to do something, you can do anything

    Use the Pen tool. every time you click, you'll create one. Looks like a little box on the line.

    It's hard to explain how to use them though. When you click one, you get handles that can drag longer or shorder and twist the line. Play around with it with the Pen tool, the White Arow Tool and the Black Arrow tool, and while holding the Alt key down. The only way to learn it is to play with it.
