Note 3 for Flash

Watch & Read:

Motion and shape tweening are available in Flash!

Shape Tweening gives you the ability to morph between different objects. Flash figures out for you what the transition shapes will look like. You can tell Flash how to transform but I never have.

Motion Tweening the objects need to be grouped together.

Get Snoopy or some other Comic Character and make an animation.

Review the following:

Tweening: Letting Flash figure out the position of an object

Shape Tweening the objects must be broken apart (no grouping)

To give the illusion of walking away from your screen, change the size of the object by starting large and making the object smaller

To give the illusion of moving toward an object in the screen, change the size of the object by starting smaller and making the object larger.

Terms you need to know:
