I also agree with Dermot O’Connor… Flash CS5 and this newest CS5.5 are pretty awful. I’m not sure if they’re trying to be easier to use or easier to confuse. It’s very limited and what should take only 5 minutes takes 10!!!

You can precisely control the shape of most property curves in the Motion Editor by adding property keyframes and manipulating the curve with standard Bezier controls. For the X, Y, and Z properties, you can add and remove control points on the property curves, but you cannot use Bezier controls.

This I got from the Adobe Flash Professional site your tutorial is misleading making people think they can use bezier controls on all options in the motion editor. I believe they are restricted to a few options.

I just wasted 15 mins ttrying to mimic your screenshot of bezier handles in motion editor had to resort to googling for extra help to find the information above could you correct or explain further in your tutorial please it would save a lot of frustration in the future. Apart from that its a good tutorial and many thanks for putting it together.

i totally agree with dermot o connor.

i thought i would love the motion editor, but i don’t. the fact that a custom ease to not apply the th x,y,z properties unless you scale it’s total duration to the amount you need for teach keyframe is totally unusable too.

the “classec” tween model is “ok,” and i’ve learned to work around the limitations… but until the motion model matches after effects… i’ll be a “classic tween guy.”
