This is correct each element of a drawing should get its own Shape Tween

which should be on separate layer for maximum control. Otherwise, Flash

decides where things go and this is often chaos and nothing like what

you want. In my Diamond Morph each facet (13) is a separate Shape Tween

and of course on its own layer. Hinting is required for many of the

facets even with this separation.
