SHAPE TWEENING FOR CONTROL-FREAKS

Flash Kit, A Flash Developer Resource for Macromedia Flash 8 and MX Tutorials SWF FLA images clipart Sounds WAVS Animations Help and Support: "Flash supports two types of tweening to make animating less tedious, motion tweening and shape tweening. As opposed to drawing each frame as with a flipbook, one only needs to draw a keyframe with the starting location/shape and another keyframe later in the timeline with the ending location/shape. (Flash gives less paper cuts than a flipbook, too!)"
