how do you make thing shine. I was trying to do it this morning with one dot on the top of a metal peice and then another dot in a new fram on the bottom metal peice, then i tweened them together but nothing really moved it just kinda faded help please?

[Fragger]

Shine or move?

[Mr.cool]

shine

Like this?

You need to use the same dot. Place it in the starting position in the first frame and then move it to the ending position in the 2nd frame, then tween it.
If you use 2 different dots, it will fade from one to the other, but the dot will not move.

[Mr.cool]

huh? how do you do that i cant move the dot in a different fram unless i copy it but that will fade

[Fragger]

Create your image in PS. The dot should be on it's own layer on the starting point.
Send it to IR.
Create a new frame.
Select the layer with the dot.
Hold SHIFT+CTRL and click the arrows to move the dot in 10 pixel increments.
Check the frames. Click on frame 1. The dot should be at the start. Click frame 2. Dot at the end.
Tween them.
Voila!
