Animations with Flash
The motion aspects are an absolute marvel. You can adjust the frame rate to achieve the level of smoothness you want. Although the standard frame rate in Flash is 12 frames per second (fps), it can easily be set to 24 fps (as with film) or even 30 fps (as with television). In many cases the cost is very little more. Motion: frame rate, tweening, keyframes. Here are three examples of our colored button that play at 8, 16, and 24 fps. The total number of frames has been adjusted so that the total running time is about 3 seconds. You will notice a considerable difference in smoothness of the animation at the higher frame rate. However, please notice also that the file size is not significantly different. In fact the examples below are Flash-within-Flash animations. The button itself is a Flash animation, while the motion is another Flash animation. Flash has the added feature of code-reuse. The same animation can be used over-and-over again.
