Animating in Flash Professional 8

Flash Professional 8 is a great new tool for working with animations. It includes some extra features that you don’t get with the Basic edition of Flash 8. One of those features is custom easing. In earlier versions of Flash, you could add ease in and ease out effects to your animations. In Flash Professional 8, you get much more precise control over the way easing is applied.
