flash (macromedia): Does anyone know how i can make it so that the frames in my animation show the
object as it is edited, e.g. Make a rectangle and then keep editing its shape
and the animation shows it as the rectangle changing shape slowly?

I don't understand your question, but if you meant to have the rectangle change
shape by frame, just make a movie and place your rectangle in frame 1, then
press F6 (to make a new frame) and change the shape of your rectangle pressF6
and so on. I hope you meant that if not please refrase your question
