FLASH: Simple or Impossible?

[Jefferis]

I have searched the net for tutorials on this one, but it must be nearly 

impossible in Flash.


I am trying to create the effect of a ribbon or a noodle as it might 

squiggle across a page like a snake, or create the effect of a ribbon 

floating down towards you in a waterfall effect so that the front of the 

ribbon gets larger by perspective as it nears you. 


I have not seen anything like either of these effects, and I suspect that 

it may be very difficult or that you almost need to hand draw each scene. 


In animations for cartoons, e.g., you probably did have to draw each 

frame.  


I am wondering if anyone has seen effects like these or knows how one 

might go about creating this illusion without creating a processor drag 

in flash with a million shape tweens.
