Tutorial mainly for Adobe flash but can be used in any animating program that uses "tweens" to move something from point A to B.
This is a way to improve your animation quite a bit easily, makes you look more professional for sure!
Technique 1 out of 3. May make the rest as well sometime.

Or, you can click anywhere on the classic tween, open up the Properties panel and then the Tweening section, and change the value of the Easing to anywhere between -100 and 100.
And if you want it to ease in and out like you have in the animation all you have to do is stick a keyframe in the middle of a standard tween and change the ease either side of it to positive and negative values.
I used to do it like you have in the animation too but I found that the easing value gives it the same effect and is far less fiddly and quicker.

Ah, I've never thought of there being an inbuilt thingy for it because I haven't seen that many smooth tween animations. If it is already there then more people should use it. Thank you for letting me know about it!
Though I still find using Keyframes useful because then I know where I have added the effect by just looking at the timeline, I can also see how I did it in the first loop and then I can just do the same when I get to the second loop without having to remember values. It have also become really natural for me but it is always good to have an alternative way of doing something.

No problem, everyone has their own methods of animating. If we all did it the same way all the animations would look the same.
And I agree, not many people bother to smooth their animations out with easing and it's such a shame; it makes everything look more natural and so much better.
I suppose few people know about it because it's hidden away, I only found it because I spent one afternoon looking through all the obscure panels and options in Flash. Some other interesting and handy things in those menus too.
