What is Tweening?
|
When you want something to change in your animation, you show Flash how it looks at the beginning and at the end. Flash creates all the in-between frames. This process is called tweening. Flash has always had tweens, but Flash CS4 introduces a new way of animating objects. Instead of applying tweens to keyframes, you apply tweens directly to the object you want to move.
