Object, and at a later point B you have another object.īetween the two points, you have a gradual shapeshifting The basic idea is that at point A in time you have one Motion Tweens allow you to move an object along a path, resize or change some basic properties of a symbol. Shape tweens allow you to mutate from one drawing object to another drawing object with different properties or at a different location on the stage. There are two types of Tweens in Flash, Shape Tweens, which can only operate on drawing objects, and Motion Tweens, which can only operate on Symbols. Pose-to-pose animation in Flash is created by defining actions in-between two points on the timeline, hence the term 'Tween'.

You'll be animating things before you know it.

In the tutorial, we'll explain the timeline and frames, tweens, and other basic techniques needed to make animations happen. Figuring out how the animation will work is not so hard, but achieving the desirable result is usually painstaking. Animating in Flash requires certain understanding of motion and a lot of patience.
