give me a direction please!!!

[jeffrod]

Please help, I just need help finding a direction to go in. Im working on a project where I want a depict a plant growing out of the ground.

I want the plant to grow out of the ground in the same manner that a snake moves on the ground, kinda like a S pattern. My problem is that I wanted to use a tween to keep it simple but I cant get the tween to work (i guess because the cpu cant figure what to tween into what when going from a small dot to a tall stem.

I guess my question is, is there a way i can tween this animation or am i gonna have to do it keyframe by keyframe?

Thanks.

If you want a complex movement then you're probably going to have to keyframe it or at least have several keyframes which each start of a new tweened section of animation. Are you using motion tweens or shape tweens at the moment?

Ive been using motion tweens right now and that might be why its so difficult. Honestyly, I fogrot completely about shape tweens. But I think youve got a good point with a mix of keyframes and several tweens. Ill try that out next. Thanks.
