Flash Tutorial on Image Transition
Flash is an Adobe application that provides you with a variety of methods for creating dynamic movies. Flash includes a Tween concept that automatically generates object position increments, or transitions, based on a given start and end state. Tweens can be created using the user interface or the Flash ActionScript language. The ActionScript TransitionManager class includes ten different transition effects, such as Rotate, Wipe and Zoom.

Launch Flash and select "File" and "New" to create a new file. Select the "Flash File (Actionscript 3.0)" option and click "OK." You'll create a square that "wipes" into the display.

Select the "Rectangle" tool from the Tools panel and draw a square. Alternatively, you can use an image from your Library panel. With the image or shape selected, Press "F8" and select Movie clip from the pulldown. Click "OK." Type a name for your object in the Properties panel "Instance Name" field, for example, "isquare."

Press "F9" to display the Script or Actions panel. Type the code to create the transition:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
TransitionManager.start(isquare,{type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:2, easing:Strong.easeIN})
The square or image will appear using the "Wipe" effect with a two second duration. Note the movie clip instance name "isquare" is inserted into the first parameter.

Press "Ctrl" and "Enter" (Or "Cmd," "Enter" on a Mac) to test the transition. Change "Wipe" type to "Zoom," "Fly" or "Rotate." Test the project again to see the result of the changes. Test other variations by changing the direction, duration and easing values. Adobe's website lists acceptable parameters and values for the available transition effects (see Resources).
