Comments on: Flash CS4: Modifying and applying a custom ease in the Motion Editor http://flashthusiast.com/2008/11/20/flash-cs4-modifying-and-applying-a-custom-ease-in-the-motion-editor/ ...and especially enthusiastic about motion tweens in Flash...

If you drag the keyframe in the custom ease until it snaps, it will match the keyframe in the position (why it snaps), so they hit the same spot. Then your ease should follow the position (you can make the rise occur after frame 50, no flat line). Hope that helps. @sean: That looks like it’s occurring because the keyframe around frame 50 on the custom ease isn’t matching the value in the Y property.

i cant figure out why there is such a flat-line then steep rise on the “Y” property… it does not seem to follow the ease.

I had been struggling much to long on this topic, confusing the interaction between playhead postion, ease values, keyframe positions, and graph representation. This may be a difficult subject to easily document, considering the variety of varables, but you did a good job. I look forward to reading your article on easing between tween keyframes. Thanks for enlightening me - it should make my future work with Flash more palatable. Your explaination of a custom ease finally broke through my thick skull.

Good to hear from you! Unfortunately there isn't a way to go from preset > custom or specifically save the custom ease itself. (Have existing enhancement requests logged for those though - I'd love to see that myself). The closest you can get for the second in CS4 is to save a basic tween with your custom ease in it as a preset that you then use as the starting point for the tweens you apply it to. (Or use it to copy/paste the custom ease from). Wish I had better news! Hey James!

Long time no-talk. So...is there any way to copy a preset ease and use it as a starting point for a custom ease? T'would make life easier. Also...can we not save our custom eases and give them cute names? That would be nice, perhaps I'm missing something... Hey Jen!

How do i apply custome ease to mouse events? Lets say i need something to start rotate on mouse ON with speeding up till some point where it has stable rotation speed, and on mouse out its slowing rottation and stops? Hi, i have a question.
