Shape Tweens

1. Add a shape to the first frame of layer 1
2. CONVERT TO SYMBOL (GRAPHIC)
3. On frame 30 of the same layer, add the same shape
4. Alter the shape's color, size, position, and distortion (distort, envelope, skew)
5. Create a SHAPE TWEEN between frame 1 and 30
6. This will create a SHAPE TWEEN 

Effects

1. Create a shape on the first frame of layer 1
2. CONVERT TO SYMBOL (MOVIE CLIP)
3. On frame 30 of the same layer, add the same shape
4. Add an PROPERTY EFFECT (STYLE or FILTER)
5. Create a CLASSIC TWEEN between frame 1 and 30
6. This will create an EFFECT through CLASSIC TWEEN

Other Tips

1. To create a "loop" the first and last frame of the animation need to be exactly the same
2. You can copy the first frame and past it at the end, then add a TWEEN between
3. Or, before you add your TWEENS; INSERT KEYFRAME multiple times and then TWEEN
