Manipulating Images in Flash

[CanadianBacon]

I have created a drawing of a door using Flash MX and have it appearing at a certain time during the Flash movie. What I am trying to do now is to be able to pivot the door on the hinge side so that it appears to be opening. I plan on using it as an "entrance" to a website. Any suggestions?

With the new transform tool in Flash MX that should be a doddle! Make the door a graphic, and motion tween it. Use the transform tool to first make the door appear thinner, then wider again ... the desired efect should be something like door wide > door thin > door wide (but on opposite side).

It's a little hard to explain - have a look at this SWF I made:

You can get the SWF and FLA here:

Just a matter of tweening ...
