Flash designer always need to do a lot of tweening animation or effect, whether using the frame or using actionscripts. Try this: http://laco.wz.cz/tween/. It saves a lot of time! It simplifies the way we write the actionscripts to animate the movie clips.

First you need to download and install the .mxp file from http://laco.wz.cz/tween/?page=download.

#include “lmc_tween.as” for ActionScript 2.0 (runs fine on Flash Player 6) or #include “lmc_tween_as1.as” for ActionScript 1.0. After which, you can use following methods for every MovieClip, fast and easy to use:

MovieClip.tween()
MovieClip.stopTween()
MovieClip.isTweening()
MovieClip.getTweens()
MovieClip.lockTween()
MovieClip.unlockTween()
MovieClip.isTweenLocked()
MovieClip.alphaTo()
MovieClip.brightnessTo()
MovieClip.brightOffsetTo()
MovieClip.colorTo()
MovieClip.colorTransformTo()
MovieClip.contrastTo()
MovieClip.frameTo()
MovieClip.scaleTo()
MovieClip.slideTo()
MovieClip.rotateTo()

Go back to the site, http://laco.wz.cz/tween/, to read the online documentation for further explanation on how to use the functions. There are examples, http://laco.wz.cz/tween/?page=examples, too to show you how to write the code.
