9. Tweening
• A tween in Adobe Flash is basically an
animation command.
• It allows the animator to animate an object
without drawing all of the individual frames of
a traditional animation.

10. Motion Tweeining
• Allows for motion of an object by controlling
where an object is in on the stage at a
particular frame.
• Motion tweens can be used to create motion
over a curved line as well.

11. Shape Tweening
• Used when a color needs to slowly transition
to another or when a shape turns into another
shape.
• Shape tweening can also create some
interesting effects when a drawing is turned
into a shape, text, or another drawing.
