Animation in Flash

Using Flash, you can animate objects to make them appear to move across the Stage and/or change their shape, size, color, opacity, rotation, and other properties. You can create frame-by-frame animation, in which you create a separate image for each frame. You can also create tweened animation, in which you create the first and last frames of an animation and direct Flash to create the frames in between. See Creating Animation.

You can also use ActionScript, an object-oriented programming language, to create animation in Flash. See Understanding the ActionScript Language.
