    The document discusses two other types of tweening in Flash besides motion tweening: shape tweening and classic tweening. Shape tweening allows animating one shape into another, such as tweening a circle into a rectangle over 12 frames. Classic tweening interpolates properties of objects over time.

    Other Tweening Types

    There are two other types of tweening that Flash provides, SHAPE tweening and CLASSIC
    tweening.

    Shape Tweening
    Shape tweening allows you to animate one shape into another. It operates on objects
    drawn using tools such as the rectangle, oval or pencil tools. It does not work with
    grouped objects or symbols. To illustrate this we will tween a circle into a rectangle.

    A Setting the Start Shape


    1

    Load Flash and create a new FLASH FILE or close the current file and start a new
    FLASH FILE.

    B Setting the End Shape


    Lets set a 12 frame animation (0.5 seconds). When changing shape in an animation an
    extra KEYFRAME needs to be set at the end.

    NOTE:

    When a major change is required in the animation (such


    as inserting a different object), a KEYFRAME rather that a
    PROPERTY KEYFRAME needs to be used.

    NOTE: i The KEYFRAME MARKER at FRAME 12 should be an open dot


    as there is now no content in the frame.

    ii The circle is still at FRAME 1.

    C Setting the Shape Tween

    NOTE:

    Notice that the TIMELINE shading has changed to LIGHT


    GREEN to let you know that a SHAPE TWEEN has been set.
    A MOTION TWEEN is LIGHT BLUE.

    Preview the animation and the circle should gradually change to the rectangle.

    D Adjusting Shapes
    You can adjust the shapes to produce some interesting effects.

    Click on the KEYFRAME MARKER at FRAME 1.

    Select the SELECTION TOOL and click anywhere on the stage to deselect the circle.
