Motion tweening in Flash CS4 is different from CS3 and previous versions. In the previous versions of Flash, there were two types of tweening, shape and motion. You had good flexibility with them and now you have even more. Flash CS4 features three types of tweening, shape, motion and classic. Shape tweening is the same and has not changed. What users once considered motions is now called classic tweening. The new motion tweening has a very powerful tweening engine that allows you to easily update your animations. It is also the feature you will use to animate your 3D objects in Flash.

This video tutorial will show you step-by-step the basics of using the new motion tweening engine and demonstrate how to produce a motion tween.
