Tweening is a traditional animation term that describes the process in which a lead animator draws only the key frames, while assistants draw the frames in between.
In Fireworks, tweening blends two or more instances of the same symbol, creating interim instances with interpolated attributes. You can tween the location, transformation, opacity, and effects of individual instances.
Tweened from 100% opacity to 25%
For example, tween a vertical instance with a horizontal instance to produce objects that rotate progressively to form a blend between the two.
To tween instances:
| 1 | Select two or more instances of the same symbol. |
| 2 | Choose Modify > Symbols > Tween Instances. |
| 3 | Enter the number of tween steps in the Tween Instances dialog box. |
| 4 | To distribute the tweened objects to separate frames, choose Distribute to Frames and click OK. |
Note: If you don't distribute the objects to separate frames, you can do it later by selecting all instances and clicking the Distribute to Frames button in the Layers or Frames panel..
