Macromedia Flash MX 2004 and Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 offer several ways to include animation and special effects in your document. Timeline effects, such as blur, expand, and explode, make it easy to animate an object: you can simply select the object, then select an effect and specify parameters. With Timeline effects, you can accomplish in a few easy steps a previously time-consuming task that required more advanced knowledge of animation.
To create tweened animation, you create starting and ending frames and let Flash create the animation for the frames in between. Flash varies the object's size, rotation, color, or other attributes between the starting and ending frames to create the appearance of movement. See Tweened animation.
You can also create animation by changing the contents of successive frames in the Timeline. You can make an object move across the Stage, increase or decrease its size, rotate, change color, fade in or out, or change shape. Changes can occur independently of, or in concert with, other changes. For example, you can make an object rotate and fade in as it moves across the Stage. In frame-by-frame animation, you create the image in every frame. See Frame-by-frame animation.
