What does easing do to a motion tween?
Easing refers to the way in which a motion tween proceeds. You can think of easing as acceleration or deceleration. An object that moves from one side of the Stage to the other side can start off slowly, then build up speed, and then stop suddenly. Or, the object can start off quickly and then gradually slow to a halt.
How do you apply an ease to a classic tween?
To apply easing to a classic tween, use the Ease field in the Tweening section of the Property inspector. Use the Custom Ease dialog box to more precisely control the speed of the classic tween. To adjust the rate of change between tweened frames, drag the value in the Easing field or enter a value.
How do you ease shape tween?
To tween the color of the shape, make the shape in frame 1 a different color from the shape in frame 30. To add easing to the tween, select one of the frames and enter a value in the Ease field of the Property inspector. To ease the beginning of the tween, enter a negative value.
What is classic tween?
Classic tweens are an older way of creating animation in Animate. These tweens are similar to the newer motion tweens, but are more complicated to create and less flexible. However, classic tweens do provide some types of control over animation that motion tweens do not.
What properties can be changed through a motion tween?
The properties range from rotation, scale, transparency, or tint (symbols and TLF text only). For example, you can edit the alpha (transparency) property of a symbol instance to make it fade onto the screen. For a list of the properties you can animate with motion tweens, see Tweenable objects and properties.
How to change the motion of a tween animation?
Edit the motion path of a tweened animation to change the position of a tweened object. Work with property keyframes in motion tweens for a consistent motion speed across a tween. Edit tween spans using a motion editor or Property inspector to arrange the objects in layers and frames.
How does the custom ease graph work in motion tweens?
The Custom ease graph represents the degree of motion over time. Frames are represented by the horizontal axis, and the tween’s percentage of change is represented by the vertical axis. The first value in the animation is at 0%, and the last keyframe can be set from 0 through 100%.
What is the target object in motion tween?
A motion tween has a single object in a tween span called the tween’s target object. There are several advantages to having a single target object in a tween: You can save a tween as a preset for reuse. You can easily move the motion tweens on the Timeline (drag the tween span around) or on the Stage.
How do you adjust the speed of a classic tween?
To apply easing to a classic tween, use the Ease field in the Tweening section of the Property inspector. Use the Custom Ease dialog box to more precisely control the speed of the classic tween. To adjust the rate of change between tweened frames, drag the value in the Easing field or enter a value.
