Answer 2

* Motion tween is nothing but tweening a Symbol's movement from one position to another. Motion tweening is also term used in Macromedia Flash to refer to the transition from one position or location to another.

Answer 3

Motion tweening is a way in which Adobe Flash enables users to create certain animations (other animation programs have this feature, too, although it may have a different name).

For example, you can create two frames: the first frame will contain a graphic or text in a certain position on the screen, while the second frame will contain that same graphic or text in a different position. Assuming the content of both frames is on the same layer, you can apply motion tween to them. The result will be the graphic or text moving from one position to the other.

In another scenario, you may have different graphics or text in the two frames. When you apply motion tween to them, one will turn into the other.

The speed and smoothness at which one image changes into the other as a result of a motion tween depends on how many frames are between them and how fast you set the animation to play (how many frames per second).
