FLASH Tutorial

Flash can create two types of tweened animation using timeline:

Motion Tween & Shape Tween

Creation of Motion/Shape tween using timeline is the basics of Flash.

MOTION TWEEN:

Motion tween is nothing but tweening object’s movement from one position to another.
To implement Motion Tween all that you have to do is, provide Flash with object's initial position and the end position. Rest is taken care by Flash. Isn't it really simple?

Okay, you ready to learn how to create motion tween. All you have to do is just follow this tutorial step by step.

Steps to follow:

1. Open a new flash file (Ctrl+N).
New Document window will appear
Select General panel and choose Type: Flash Document. Press OK.

2. If your timeline window is not open, press (Ctrl+Alt+T).

3. Now you can see a single Layer called "Layer1" in your timeline Window.

4. Select the first frame. Import your image onto stage, upon which you would want to implement motion tween.
File>Import>Import to Stage, or just press (Ctrl+R).
Or you can even draw your own object; you can either choose Rectangular tool or Oval tool from the toolbox & draw your desired shape.

5. Right now your object is in frame 1 of Layer 1. Select frame 25 and press F6 to insert a new keyframe.

6. Select any frame between 2 to 24 and select Motion from the tween pop-up menu in the Property inspector. Now your Layer will look something like the one shown below.

7. Still keeping playhead on frame 25, move your object to any other position other than the present one.

8. Now press (Ctrl+Enter) to view your motion tween.
