Hello, I'm trying to create the effect of a plant blowing in the wind. I'm not a Action Script guru by any means. Currently, I just have the plant on the stage and I just skew the image every 10 frames or so and tween. It's OK but it's jumpy and definietly doesn't look like natural wind. Can anyone help me with this?

I suggest that if you want to animate look at a real tree and either rotoscope or interpret that footage. A shortcut to animation in adobe software is using sequential blends in illustrator layers exporting a swf and importing it into flash layers. Be careful with grouping blends in illustrator though. To many blends at different depths can cause errors in vector calculus.

Happy animating! :)
