Creating a Hearts Animation Movie Clip

We're going to animate our heart, too, but we're going to use a shape tween instead of a motion tween, which means that for the animation we can't use a graphic symbol; it has to stay a shape fill. However, the heart needs to be a repetitive animation as well, which means that we have no choice but to use a Movie Clip symbol--a bit of a dilemma, isn't it?

Not really. We'll make a movie clip of it, and then do our shape tween inside the movie clip, on whose stage the heart is still a shape fill.
