Hints/Steps

• Create your vehicle and make it a clip (CTRL-G). This is simply to group it so that it can be tweened.
  
  
• On a separate layer, create the shape of the planet. Lock the layer.
  
  
• Make your vehicle tween from the very left of the screen to the very right of the screen. At this point, it will be straight through the planet.
  
  
• You need to stretch the planet’s layer to be as long as your tween. You will need to unlock that layer to do this. But lock it back after.
  
  
• On the first keyframe, change the rotation of your vehicle to match the planet’s surface.
  
  
• On the last keyframe, change the rotation of your vehicle to match the planet’s surface.
  
  
• Watch your tween. Notice that the rotation of the vehicle changes automatically as it moves.
  
  
• Now pick a frame at about the halfway point of your tween. With the cursor tool, select your vehicle. Use the UP arrow to move the car to the surface of the planet. Tweak the rotation if you need to.
  
  
• Pick a few more points on the timeline and raise the vehicle to the surface of the planet.
  
  
• Increase the length of the planet layer to about twice as long as your car’s tween to make it look as if the car is on the other side of planet before restarting.
