This chapter covers:

The differences between motion design in Flex applications and motion design in other mediums.
How to use motion to leverage users’ instinctual understanding of the physical world to enhance your application’s usability.
How to use screen to screen transitions to help guide users to the next area of interest and make it clear how to return.
How to use motion effects to provide feedback and focus your users’ attention.
