MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-LEARNING ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 IN FLASH Manual page 484

This code calls the TransitionManager class and then applies the Zoom transition with the
specified
mx.transitions.easing.Bounce.easeOut
transition applies to the selected slide. To apply this effect to a movie clip, you can modify
the ActionScript to use in your Flash animations. Modifying the code to work with a
movie clip symbol is easy: change the first parameter from
desired movie clip's instance name.
Flash comes with ten transitions, which you can customize by using the easing methods and
several optional parameters. Remember, easing refers to gradual acceleration or deceleration
during an animation, which helps your animations appear more realistic. For example, a ball
might gradually increase its speed near the beginning of an animation, but slow down before
it arrives at a full stop at the end of the animation. There are many equations for this
acceleration and deceleration, which change the easing animation accordingly.
The following table describes the transitions included in Flash Basic 8 (using code) and Flash
Professional 8 (using code or behaviors):
