Flash CS4 introduced a brand new motion tween, and maintained the existing tweening model as the renamed ‘Classic’ tween. These two types of motion tweens operate very differently — each with different behaviors, advantages and drawbacks. This video is extracted from Chris’ 45 min online course at the RMI ( is.gd ), in which he highlights the detailed behavior of motion tweens in Flash CS4 (and addresses the same tools in CS5) and shows how he uses both the motion tween and classic tween in his own work. This video was recorded from Chris Georgenes’ presentation at FITC Amsterdam 2010.
