Flash Tweening

What is motion tweening in Flash?

• Motion tweening in Flash is a technique used to create smooth transitions between keyframes by automatically generating intermediate frames based on the keyframes' properties.

• Motion tweening in Flash is a technique used to create static images without any animation.

• Motion tweening in Flash is a feature that allows users to add sound effects to animations.

• Motion tweening in Flash is a method to convert text into shapes for design purposes.

Explain the concept of shape tweening.

• Shape tweening involves creating 3D shapes in animation.

• Shape tweening is the process of changing colors in animation.

• Shape tweening is the process of transforming one shape into another shape gradually in animation.

• Shape tweening is the process of adding sound effects to animations.

What is frame-by-frame animation and how is it different from tweening?

• Frame-by-frame animation involves creating individual frames for each movement or change in an animation sequence, while tweening involves generating intermediate frames between keyframes to create smooth transitions.

• Frame-by-frame animation involves creating animations using a single frame only.

• Tweening is a type of animation that involves drawing each frame individually.

• Frame-by-frame animation and tweening are the same thing.

How can you create a motion tween in Flash?

• Click on the object and choose 'Animate Motion'

• Drag and drop the object onto the timeline

• Use the 'Motion Wizard' tool to create a motion tween

• Right-click on the object and select 'Create Motion Tween'

What are the keyframes in a motion tween?

• Frames where specific changes or animations occur in the motion tween.

• Frames where text is displayed in the motion tween.

• Frames where audio is added in the motion tween.

• Frames where no changes occur in the motion tween.

Describe the process of creating a shape tween in Flash.

• Draw a shape on the ending keyframe and select 'Create Shape Tween'

• Use the text tool instead of the shape tool

• Draw a shape on the starting keyframe, create a new keyframe for the shape change, and select 'Create Shape Tween' on the second keyframe.

• Apply a motion tween to the shape

What is the purpose of using shape hints in shape tweening?

• To change the color of the shapes

• To add motion blur effects

• To adjust the audio settings

• To specify how anchor points in the starting shape should be mapped to anchor points in the ending shape

When would you choose to use frame-by-frame animation instead of tweening?

• When you need precise control over each frame's appearance or movement.

• When you need to create complex animations with multiple layers.

• When you want to save time and effort in the animation process.

• When you prefer a smoother and more fluid animation.

What are some advantages of using motion tweening over frame-by-frame animation?

• Animations are less smooth

• Advantages of using motion tweening include smoother animations, less manual work, and smaller file sizes.

• Larger file sizes

• More manual work required

How can you adjust the easing of a motion tween in Flash?

• Right-click on the tweened object, select 'Create Motion Tween', adjust easing in Properties panel.

• Modify easing by changing the color of the tweened object

• Change easing by selecting the frame and adjusting the timeline

• Adjust easing by clicking on the stage and dragging the motion path
