Hi Jorge,
It looks like they made a little change in CS5. I’ve posted an update (v 1.0.2) for both the MXP and ZIP packages. I’ve taken advantage of some of the native functions added to CS5. So, not only should the Undo last tween Command work completely now, but MotionSketch should render even faster in CS5.

Hi Justin!
Thanks for this great tool, very useful for everyone, mainly for the noobs like me.
I´ve run thru the install issues but I sorted out reading the comments on install languages and doing the manual install. Everything seems to work fine except the “Undo last tween command” , whenever I try to redraw I get an error saying that “the current selection is a tween span which does not support drawing” I have to mention that I´m using CS5.
Thanks again and congratulations for this.

Jorge

I get an error message when I try to install it. It’s probably something to do with the extension manager being Dutch instead of English. for all your other extensions I had to move all files from an “nl” folder to an “en” folder. There seems to be no way to change the language, it simply detects it automatically.
A .zip download of the content and stuff would be great, I know where to install them.

Cool, Michael. Glad you could find a work-around. Nice job on the animation!

Thanks for the response! It seemed if my path crossed to many times or if parts of it were too close together, I would get the error. Really didn’t matter how fast or slow I drew. I managed a workaround by drawing parts of my path on different layers, then making sure the end of one illustration was very near the start of the next – kind of a pain, but not nearly as much as trying to animate along a path and manually set tween rates.. the project is still under construction, but the animation can be seen here: http://ftcholidaygiveback.com

Michael,
This is an error from Flash, not the tool. So it is unavoidable in some circumstances. This usually happens when I try to draw too much too fast, or when I accidentally close my path (i.e., drawing a circle). Once you figure out what part is causes that error, it can usually be avoided.

This is a great tool! Unfortunately, I am trying to use it to simulate a sketch-on effect – leading a pen around the page to draw on an object. If I do something simple, it works fine – but when I draw a complicated path, I get the error: The object you are trying to paste cannot be interpreted as a path. Only strokes with two endpoints are valid for this operation.

Any idea? I am drawing a continuous path…
