Flash Tweening

The term "Tweening" is derived from "in between".

Sometimes you want to add an effect that is graduated over several frames.

For example, moving a car from the left side of the movie to the right side.

Instead of moving the car a little bit on each frame, you can simply:

• position the car on the first frame,


• then insert a keyframe where the car should stop


• and finally tell Flash to tween between the two keyframes.

Tweening simply means going from one keyframe to another while taking small steps for each of the ordinary frames in between.
