The two methods for creating an animation in Flash are:
FRAME BY FRAME ANIMATION: In Frame-by-Frame Animation, we create an image in every frame.
TWEENED ANIMATION: In the Tweened Animation, we create the starting and ending keyframes to animate the object. Flash itself creates the motion effects in between the frames.

There are two types of Gradients in Flash:
Linear Gradient changes colour from the starting point to the end point in a straight line.
Radial Gradient changes colour in a circular outward direction starting from the focal point.

Flash is a powerful animation software package developed by Adobe Systems (formerly Macromedia). Flash provides a versatile and easy way to create animation that consists of images, sound, and video with various effects Flash is a vector based program, which means that the graphics created in it can be scaled to any size without losing the quality.

Flash is extremely useful for developing highly interactive web sites, online advertisements, computer games, and contents for various mobile devices. Playing movies in any browser is one of the best features of Flash.

Frames: Animations in Flash are created with the help of frames. Frames in Flash can be defined as the little rectangular cells that appear on the Timeline. Each frame has a number, which you can find on top of the Timeline. Like films, Flash document divides the length of time into frames. A frame displays the content of the movie at a specific moment of time.
Keyframes: Keyframes are special types of frames, where we define some change to an object’s properties for an animation – like position, colour, shape, etc. We can easily change the length of a tweened animation by dragging a keyframe in the Timeline.

The Property Inspector is a panel that displays the properties of the selected object (text, symbol, an image, a line or a shape). The list of properties also vary in the Property Inspector. You can make changes to the object or document attributes in the Property Inspector.

Gradient means filling colour in an object from light to dark that basically gives shade to an object or a colour formed by mixing of two or more colours in an object.

Follow the given steps to rotate/skew the object:
• Select the object.
• Select the Modify > Transform> Rotate and Skew.
• Click on the corner handle of the object, the pointer changes to rotation handle.
• Drag a corner handle to rotate the object.
• To end the transformation, click outside the selected object.
• An outline of the object appears as you rotate.
• Release the mouse button and observe the rotated object.

To import graphics from another file follow these steps:
• Select the File> Import> Import to Stage.
• The Import dialog box appears.
• Browse and select the file that you want to import and click on Open.
• The picture will be placed on the stage.

Animation involves a series of still images, usually painted or sketched, displayed in rapid sequence. This action is so quick that it appears to show some movement.
Animation in flash is created by changing the contents of successive frames. We can make an object move across the stage, increase or decrease its size, fade in or out, change colour or shape using animation.

Tint Tweening is used to change the colour of an object. Tint effects work only on symbols and cannot be added to the object that are drawn directly on the canvas of the movie.
