Tweening: Animate Your Objects by Filling Frames in Between Them in Flash

This document discusses three types of tweening in Flash: shape tweening, classic tweening, and motion tweening. Shape tweening morphs one shape into another over time. Classic tweening moves, resizes, or rotates objects between keyframes like in older Flash versions. Motion tweening requires only one keyframe and updates the tween as you move the object, allowing for 3D tweening. The document provides step-by-step instructions for creating each type of tween.
