Note:

Save a tween as a custom motion preset

If you create your own tween or change a tween that you applied from the Motion Presets panel, you can save it as a new motion preset. The new
preset appears in the Custom Presets folder in the Motion Presets panel.

To save a custom tween as a preset:

1. Select one of the following items:

The tween span in the Timeline

The object on Stage to which the custom tween was applied

The motion path on the Stage

2. Click the Save Selection As Preset button in Motion Presets panel or choose Save as Motion Preset from the context menu of the selection.

The new preset appears in the Motion Presets panel. Flash Pro saves the preset as an XML file. The files are stored in the following
directories:

Windows: \Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash
CC\\Configuration\Motion Presets\

Macintosh: /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CC//Configuration/Motion Presets/

You cannot undo saving, deleting, or renaming custom presets.

Import a motion preset

Motion presets are stored as XML files. Import an XML tween file to add it to the Motion Presets panel. Note that the motion presets imported as
XML files can only be added to classical tweens.

1. Choose Import from the Motion Presets panel menu.

2. In the Open dialog box, navigate to the XML file you want to import and click Open.

Flash Pro opens the XML file and adds the motion preset to the panel.

Export a motion preset

You can export motion presets as XML files that can be shared with other Flash Pro users.

1. Select the preset in the Motion Presets panel.

2. Choose Export from the panel menu.

3. In the Save As dialog box, choose a name and location for the XML file and click Save.
