The following list was created in order
of frequency of questions I normally receive about the topic.
tween - a tween is
the group of frames that make up the time between the opening and ending
cell of a scene in an animation. The boring part of animation is doing the
tweening. The good job is creative animator that creates the opening and

number of frames per second used to create an animation key frame -
tweens or single frames of animation start and stop with key frames,
therefore you must start a tween with a key frame and end with a key frame
transparency - alpha - the change of transparency (think Photoshop) of an object in a tween colour -
tint - the change from one colour to
another in a tween File Formats -
