Examine the completed FLA file
As you examine the finished version of the application you'll create, you
will also look at the Flash workspace.
In subsequent sections, you'll go through the steps to create the application
yourself.
Open the authoring document
It's helpful to analyze the completed authoring document, which is a FLA
file, to see how the author designed the animation and understand what
you are going to create.
The files for this tutorial are located in the Samples and Tutorials folder in
the Flash application folder. For many users, particularly in educational
settings, this folder is read-only. Before proceeding with the tutorial, you
should copy the entire Animation Easing tutorial folder to the writable
location of your choice.
On most computers, you will find the Animation Easing tutorial folder in
the following locations:
In Windows: boot drive\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\Samples
and Tutorials\Tutorial Assets\Creating Graphics\Animation Easing
On the Macintosh: boot drive/Applications/Macromedia Flash 8/
Samples and Tutorials/Tutorial Assets/Creating Graphics/Animation
Easing
Copy the Animation Easing folder to another location on your hard disk
that you have write access to. In the Animation Easing folder, you will find
a Flash file called tween_finished.fla. Double-click the file to open it in
Flash. You now see the completed tutorial file in the Flash authoring
environment.
