For a review we will go over a few things from what we should know in Flash:

put three movies (Export movie) into your Flash folder: Squash, Anticipation and Ease

1. Have objects move smoothly over one another (this will not work with very complicated scenes). Have a layer for three different objects > label your layers > and be sure you have 'Converted to symbol" each image > to have your image move smoothly from frame 1 - 30 > click in frame 10 > F6 > move your image to where you want it > click in frame 20 > F6 > move your image to where you want it > click in frame 30  F6 > move your image to where you want it. In Properties select your frame and Tween > Motion

2. Anticipation. If you have your figure just move across the screen then that is quite budget

 have your figure begin moving in the first frames and at the end as shown in Dr. Blob Rocks below. Don't have your figure just move quickly - ANTICIPATE

3. Squash and stretch See that when you move and select your character that "Free Transform tool" is selected and then when the figure is where you want it using the alt - key on your keyboard squash your thingy > REMEMBER TO HOLD ALT KEY TO STRETCH JUST THE TOP - otherwise the whole image moves.

Squash is good for something that is hitting the ground or hitting a wall   and Stretch is good for something that is spring into action....
