Setting up a basic motion tween without code
In this very short and basic tutorial i will show anybody completely new to flash how to do a
basic tween. I wont create movieclips or do anything other then simply move a square from
left to right.
Lets begin, open Flash (i use Flash 8 but for this any version will do) and create a new Flash document.
(file > new). For this excercise you can keep everything default and just press ok to make that new document.
Now press the little square in the menu to select the rectangle too and draw a 100x100 square a bit on the left side of
your Flash Stage.
If you look at the top of your document you will see a timeline. This should be read running from left to right.
you see a bunch of numbers each representing a frame number. Select frame 30 and press F6.
This created a key frame on frame 30. Keyframe are important spots in your timeline and often animation run between key points.
If all went ok the space between frame 0 and 30 is now filled up ... right click in this area and select "create motion tween".
Now the grey area becomes purple and an arrow displays.
The motion tween is in place now. Make sure frame 30 is selected and then select the
square again. Move the square to the right side of your Flash document and press ctrl+enter to see what happends.
Or ofcourse look below to see what happens.
Conclusion
I know this was a short small tutorial, but i hope it can be useful to anybody just entering this cool world of Flash. One advice i can give you is dont let this Flash interface intimidate you, you will without a doubt get used to it. Try to do as many smal experiments as you can and in no time you will be running with the best. If you have any questions please don't be shy and post a message in the forum.
