5nimation with tweening

Tweening 5 tween is an animation that is created by specifying a

state for an ob-ect property in one frame and another state for thatsame ob-ect in another frame. Flash calculates the values for thatob-ect8s properties in between those two frames. !he term tweencomes from the phrase 9in between.:

Flash supports three di3erent types of tweening.

Motion tweens# introduced in Flash CS; /rofessional# are powerful and simple to

create. Motion tweens allow you to create most tweened e3ects.

Classic tweens# which were the only method for motion animation in earlier versionsof Flash # are more comple" to create# but provide certain capabilities that motion

tweens do not.

Shape tweens allow you draw a shape at one speci,c frame in the !imeline# and

change that shape or draw another shape at another speci,c frame. Flash then

interpolates the intermediate shapes for the frames in between# creating theanimation of one shape morphing into another.

Motion tweening

Motion tweens can only have one ob-ect instance associated with

them and use property keyframes instead of keyframes.

Motion tween spans can be stretched and resized in the !imeline andare treated as a single ob-ect.

$ith motion tweens# eases apply across the entire length of a motiontween span.

Classic tweening

Classic tweens use keyframes. eyframes are frames in which a new

instance of an ob-ect appears.

Classic tweens consist of groups of individually selectable frames inthe !imeline.

$ith classic tweens# eases can be applied to the groups of framesbetween the keyframes within the tween.
