TOOLS YOU CAN USE

Another effect that's simple to accomplish with motion tweening is the so-called "zoom" effect.

As you might have already figured, this is not at all difficult in Flash. For your first keyframe, simply create a symbol - image or text block - which is miniscule in size

and then scale it up for your second keyframe.

When you tween the two together, if you do it right, it will appear as though you are "zooming in" to the image.
