Bouncing ball animatinon

I learnt how to create an easy to make bouncing ball animation in flash. Here is how I made it.

First I inserted the ball using the oval shape tool with a fill colour(top arrow)
The arrow at the bottom is showing the timeline, this is used to create my animation by using keyframes and classic tweens. 
You can see black dots as you go along the timeline, this indicates a keyframe, this allows flash to understand where to animate. Notice now the ball is in a different position, this is because I have moved it at the second keyframe, then highlighting the first keyframe to the second keyframe, right clicking it then choosing "Classic Tween" This has now allowed flash to understand the balls different position between keyframe 1 and 2. So flash automatically fills in the missing gap between the two to create the balls movement.

This last example is to show how flash has calculated between the keyframes, and this shows a frame inbetween keyframe 2 and 3. Showing how it has automatically created the movement from both Keyframes.
