	Tweening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tweening, short for in-betweening, is the process of generating intermediate frames between two images to give the appearance that the first image evolves smoothly into the second image.
		Tweening is a key process in all types of animation, including computer animation.
		Note that traditional inbetweening involves the use of drawing tables with underneath lighting to draw a set of pencil-on-paper pictures, but in more recent times computers may be used to speed the inbetweening process.

	Flash - Motion Tweening
		Motion tweening was introduced into flash as an alternative to more traditional methods such as keyframe animation, which was outlawed because of its limits and boundaries.
		Tweening for flash covered leaps and bounds because it allowed the user to use flash as an automation.
		When one would tween, flash would, in a sense, guess, or calculate the best position or appearance for each frame that the tween covered.

		Tweening size works best for vector-based cast members created in the Vector Shape window or in Macromedia Flash MX 2004 (bitmaps can become distorted when resized).
		To tween rotation or skew, manually rotate or skew the sprite to the beginning position on the Stage or enter an angle in the Property inspector.
		To tween color, use the color boxes in the Property inspector to open the color palette for foreground and background color, or enter the RGB values for a new color in the boxes at the right (List view) or left (Graphical view).

	TWEENING - Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Tweening uses mathematical formulae to generate these coordinates at a sequence of discrete times.
		The coordinates at each time step are used to generate (or "render") a two-dimensional image of the scene which forms one "frame" of the animation.
		Tweening is similar to morphing except that morphing is usually performed by interpolating between corresponding points marked by the user on two images, rather than between two configurations of a model.

	Position Tweening - software assisted animation function
		Tweening is a software assisted animation function in that is used to dynamically interpolate changes between two cels along the same layer that contain an instance of the same symbol.
		Tweening affects chages in a symbols color, position, rotation, scale, alpha levels, and tint.
		Position Tweening in Flash applies to the tweening of an object along the X and Y cordinates in your stage.

	BU \| WebCentral \| Learning \| FlashMX: Intro \| Tweening
		Tweening is short for "in between" because it refers to filling in the frames between two keyframes so that a graphic displayed in the first becomes the graphic displayed in the second.
		Traditional "frame by frame" animation would require that each of the in-between frames, starting with the circle on the left and changing color, shape, location, and transparency, be hand drawn.
		Tweening can be applied to several properties of an object, including motion, shape, color, rotation, size and skew.

	GameDev.net - Using Vertex Tweening for Animation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Tweening (short for in-betweening) is an animation term for the process of generating intermediate frames between two keyframes in order to make an animation appear smooth.
		Using tweening as opposed to interpolating yourself has many benefits.
		The biggest one I see is that tweening can be done on vertex buffers, so it is faster than continually locking the buffers or using DrawPrimitiveUP.

		In motion tweening, it is possible to define properties such as position, size, and rotation for an instance, group or text block at one point in time, and then change those properties at another point in time.
		In shape tweening, a shape is drawn at one point in time, and then the shape is changed or a new shape is drawn at another point in time.
		There must be a keyframe containing a single object at the first frame of the tween, and another keyframe at the last frame of the tween.

		The key to deciding whether to use motion tweening or shape tweening is to ask yourself whether you could make this change via a dialog box or inspector window.
		Another important distinction between motion tweening and shape tweening is that motion tweening works only on groups and symbols.
		If you want to tween a multipart object—say, a robot constructed of many separate objects—and you don't want to tween each object separately, you'll need to make that object a group or symbol.

		Tweening is just a fancy word for "connect the dots", except YOU decide where the dots go and the computer draws the lines between them.
		You can also make some TWEENing in 3d : it's called morph or shape animation and is exactly the same thing as 2d Tweening except the points are positioned in 3d space (xyz) instead of 2d(xy).
		The cheapest 2d tweening available (the one all major traditional animation studios are using) is done overseas : you send two images, the first and last frame of the movement you need, to a studio in developping countries and they will draw all the beTWEEN frames for you.

		Objects may also be tweened along a set path by linking a normal layer to a 'motion guide' layer for the object to follow along.
		Another of tween is the 'shape' tween which through morphing makes one object appear to change into another shape over a set amount of time.

		Polymove introduces you to "tweening" the computer process that removes much of the drudgery from animated cartoon drawing This BASIC program works on 8-bit Atari computers with a minimum of 32K memory, disk or cassette.
		Tweening is simply the process where an artist draws out the key frames—frames that have a significant amount of motion or articulation in the characters—and the computer generates the required number of in-between frames.
		This leaves each of the tween steps onscreen as it changes—a kind of visible trail.

	Q: to those who use tweening with my shadow system
		It looks just like the tweening anomaly where you want to make a object teleport but the tweening draws the object between the start and end points making it look like it moved very fast instead.
		The only things the tweening code could affect would be the casters, or the receivers, but not the shadow meshes themselves...
		I have no way of knowing if tweening is enabled, or the tweened locations of entites, and to allow you to manage that through a tweening system built into the system would make the system much more complicated.
