Justin Putney at Ajar Productions has created some amazing extensions that you can use with Flash CS4 and the new motion model to help with your tweens or create them. Justin’s extensions are not only useful, but well implemented and documented on his blog.
For some helpful detailed info about the extension creation, check out this post on the Ajar Productions site.
For information/download for the MotionSketch extension, which records/creates a tween based on you drawing in Flash (!), see this post.
For the Motion Blur extension, which analyzes the movement of your tween and then creates a motion blur. see this post.
Many thanks to Justin for your hard work, and excellent extensions.

We wrote an article to help you migrate your skills and tweens from old to new in Flash CS4. It accompanys a new Animation Learning Guide on the Developer Center (they go hand in hand, lots of cross links) – and since it is now out, so is the migration article.
Check them out here:
* Motion Migration Guide for Flash CS4
* Animation Learning Guide
Let us know what you think!

It took awhile to produce this due to its length (over 80 pages in word I think), but the Animation Learning Guide for new motion (introduced in Flash CS4 last fall) is finally out:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/learning_guide/animation/
It is divided into a bunch of sections based on topic, so click from this page to the topic you want to learn about. Also note that there is a FLA download of samples to help you out.
For more information on whatever, let us know. If you’re upgrading from classic tweens to new tweens, check this other article out too.
