I've been working on a project which required a childish drawing style
carrousel. The lines in the drwing had to be changing continuasly in
color and slightly in shape. Sort of like each frame was hand painted and
the lines of one frame weren't exactly like the other. So, I made 4
versions of each line and dissolved them in from one frame to the next
let it visable for 3 frames and dissolved back out in one frame let it
invisable for 9 frames, finally I set end behavior to repeat. Simple. The
problem was the lines had to pop out of nowhere one at a time with 10
frame intervals. So how do you pop things in? Object dissolve. But I'm
using it already and I've got repeat on and I don't want to set 100
dissolve key frames for all 8 objects, what do I do now? Wish there was a
way to set wich frame you want the repeat to start at. I did that and it
still didn't work. So I was there, looking at the Objects Panel and I saw
it. Polygon Size. I never used this so it never occured to me that, from
one frame to another, 100% polygon size to 0% would have the same effect
as 0% Object Dissolve to 100% and vice-versa.

David.
