Motion Tweens (With Paths) Adobe Flash / Getting Started
Creating a simple motion tween to get an object from point A to point B is relatively simple, but what happens if you want your object to get there in a non linear fashion? You could, of course, create keyframes and motion tweens at pre-defined intervals but this is messy and needlessly complex. By careful use of motion guides it is possible to get Flash to do all the hard work for you! How? Well, read on and find out...
Shape tweening Adobe Flash / Animation
Shape tweening allows us to change the shape of objects over time. This is similar to morphing where one object changes to another. One of the main differences between a shape tween and a motion tween is that shape tweens do not work with symbols or groups. If you want to apply shape tweens to groups or symbols, you have to first ungroup or break them apart.

Shape Tweening & Motion Guides Adobe Flash / Getting Started
Shape tweening allows you to change the shape, size, color or location of editable objects in your movie. This tutorial will teach you to animate shape tweens that do follow a curved path as demonstrated in the example below, by simulating a guide path for it to follow.
Shape Morphing Adobe Flash / Getting Started
Morphing is turning one shape into another over time. To achieve this in flash we tween shapes and its attributes like, size, location and colour of shapes between two keyframes. As a general rule its best to separate your shape-tweens with their own layers to keep things nice and simple. Flash can tween numerous shapes on one layer as demonstrated in the example below.
Problems with Rotating Animations In Flash Adobe Flash / Tips and Tricks
Creating an animation of an object rotating is very easy to do, whether you do it with tweens or in Actionscript. Unfortunately, sometimes the rotations don't occur exactly how you would want them to, because by default, the anchor for the rotation is the center point of the object being rotated. In this tutorial, you will learn how to change that anchor point for both tweened animations and Actionscript animations.
