Today is suppose to be a movie day, but I think because of all the people asking him questions about our flash project, you were so busy that you forgot to. However, it is okay but I don’t think anyone will watch it anyways, since we are working.

Today, in the beginning of class, we started out doing flash, because we don’t have to practice ATRT anymore. For flash, you gave us a few minutes finishing up touchings of our baby bomb drop project. After we finish, you taught us a new technique called motion tween and shape tween.
Here is how to do Motion Tween:
- Open a new flash file (Ctrl+N).
New Document window will appear
Select General panel and choose Type: Flash Document . Press OK.
- If your timeline window is not open, press (Ctrl+Alt+T).
- Now you can see a single Layer called "Layer1" in your timeline Window.
- Select the first frame. Import your image onto stage, upon which you would want to implement motion tween.
File>Import>Import to Stage, or just press (Ctrl+R).
Or you can even draw your own object, you can either choose Rectangular tool or Oval tool from the tool box and draw your desired shape.
- Now select your object on the stage and press F8 to convert this image to a Symbol. Convert to Symbol window will pop-up.
Name your Symbol what ever you like.
Select Graphic behavior and press OK.
Note: You can create motion tween only on symbols. So any object upon which you would want to implement motion tween, First convert the object to a Symbol.
- Right now your Symbol is in frame1 of Layer1. Select frame 20 and press F6 to insert a new keyframe.
- Still keeping playhead on frame 20, move your Symbol to any other position other than the present one.
- Select any frame between, 2 to 19 and select Motion from the tween pop-up menu in the Property inspector. Now your Layer will look something like the one shown below.
- Now press (Ctrl+Enter) to view your motion tween.
Here is how to do Shape Tween:
- Open a new flash file (Ctrl+N).
New Document window will appear
Select General panel and choose Type: Flash Document . Press OK.
- If your timeline window is not open, press (Ctrl+Alt+T).
- Now you can see a single Layer called "Layer1" in your timeline Window.
- Select the first frame. Now go to your working area and draw any object. To start off with, may be you can draw a circle.This is going to be your initial object.
In the above demonstration, my initial object is a short line.
- Select frame 20 and press F6 to insert a new keyframe.
- Still keeping playhead on frame 20, delete the object present in your working area. Now draw a different object, may be a square.
In the above demonstration, I have drawn a long line.
- Select any frame between, 2 to 19 and select Shape from the tween pop-up menu in the Property inspector. Now your Layer will look something like the one shown below.
- Now press (Ctrl+Enter) to view your motion tween.
In the above tutorial, you learnt how to create a simple shape tween. Believe me, using this logic you can create n number of beautiful things. Here is a simple example just to trigger your creativity.
The difference between motion tween and shape tween is that motion tween just move objects in lines and doesn't change shape, but shape tween does.
