F

lash animates objects in much the same way animation is achieved in traditional film: by moving

an object slightly in a series of frames, and then playing those frames back quickly enough to

fool the eye into believing the object is moving. Flash includes a process known as tweening where

you, as the designer, need only specify the starting and ending points of the animation. Flash

handles positioning the shape in each frame in between. By default, a tween lasts for 24 frames,

the equivalent of one second, but you can adjust its length using the Timeline panel.
