Shape Movement

Hello guys,
I am pleased to join this community. I'm watching tutorials and doing practice now. I am new so I had some issues to figure out.

I had two shapes( on different layers) lets name them A and B. A is standing and B will move from left to right and pass inside A and go out from other side.(like a bullet penetration). When I try to do this, I can't make shape B pass inside A, B seems to overlap A, they become and seems to one shape.
I want to make every part of shape B pass inside A step by step in timeline.

So how can I solve this, is it possible to do penetration?
By the way sorry for my english.
Thanks in advance.

Think in layers. Make a copy of layer A and arrange the layers so B is between A and A'. In that copied layer, edit shape A' so it's only covering half of shape A.

Thanks tiger,
I will try it and report back.
By the way is there any tutorial video about penetration on somewhere.
I couldn't find any here; http://anime.smithmicro.com/anime-studi ... rials.html

This isn't about penetration per se, but the principle is the same: putting something inside something else

Remember that 2D animation is an optical trick to simulate 3D space. Think in terms of layers as slowtiger suggests.
