Flash is both a drawing tool and a movie editor. If you've used other graphics applications, some of the tools may look familiar, but some won't. To keep things simple, let's start with a little introduction to the interface before diving right in to the nuts and bolts.
The drawing tools in Flash let you create and modify shapes for the artwork in your movies. For an interactive introduction to drawing in Flash,
choose Help > Lessons > Drawing in your Flash program. The tools for painting are kept in the "Tools" bar, usually positioned at the left top of your Flash Screen.

| Defining the Clickable Area |
Discription:
The last frame, labeled "Hit" is special. It is simply used to specify the area that triggers mouse-events.
If you leave this frame blank - then mouse events will be triggered when the mouse moves over the visible button.
But if you draw an area that is bigger than the button - then the mouse event will occur as soon as the mouse gets even close to the button. On the contrary you can draw an area that is smaller than the button, so that mouse events are only triggered when the mouse is at the center of your button.

| Flash Tweenings |
Discription:
The term "Tweening" is derived from "in between". Sometimes you want to add an effect that is graduated over several frames. For example, moving a car from the left side of the movie to the right side. Instead of moving the car a little bit on each frame, you can simply:
* position the car on the first frame,
* then insert a keyframe where the car should stop
* and finally tell Flash to tween between the two key-frames.
