Flash Tweening
Having trouble in class tonight with the tweening demo, I took a look online. CS4 tweening is different than CS3 tweening. If you are using your own version of Flash and it is CS3, what I covered a few weeks ago is accurate. If you are going to use the computers in the lab, that will be CS4 and there is new info on tweening - it has changed. Here is a simple video on the new tweening function. I hope this helps. If not, set up your layers and info and we can work on getting it to move as you desire in class next week.
Sorry for the troubles, I had no idea they were going to upgrade the computers or software until after the fact.
