You SHOULD be able to do it in Flash 8 if I could do it in Flash 4. Basically you just draw an oval then tug around on it to make it more blob-like. Do this in each keyframe, then just experiment with the color fills. You can make your own customized gradients. The shape tweens you insert will take care of the rest!
That's actually easy. Change your shape on a new keyframe. there's an "Inspector" window at the bottom of your workspace. Select "Shape" from the Tween menu. Select a frame on your Shape layer between the two keyframes of your transformation and insert a motion tween. You should see an intermediate stage of your shape tween appear at that moment. Go to the newer keyframe and drag the shape to a new location. Play the scene.
Ah, well....I wasn't going for realism anyway. The guts started morphing in and out of one another like that and I thought it looked kinda cool. So I settled for "coolism".
0:51 was awesome! I can't even do any of this stuff in flash 8 :( Great work.
In fact, 0:51 reminds me of Archie, from Watchmen :D

That was pretty much the inspiration for these experiments. I've always loved lava lamps since I was a child in the 1960's.

How did you do the blob organism blob? I mean how do you do shape and motion tween at the same time?

Hey, if it gets the job done, it gets the job done. I'm the same way about out of date Photoshop.
