A transition is a simple animation that creates a transition effect for a display object being added to—or removed from—the screen. For example, you could use a fade-in or fade-out effect to create a smooth transition for an image as it's added to the Stage or removed from the Stage. ActionScript 3 provides the Tween and TransitionManager classes as easy-to-add transitions for your content.
This sample demonstrates many of transitions available while using the Tween and TransitionManager classes. Click the buttons to see how each transition affects the image.
