In this tutorial, we show how to create an animation effect for the family Asin(Bx-C). The user can change the constants A,B, and C, by pressing the corresponding arrows and the graph changes dynamically. We introduce the event handler, "MovieClip.onEnterFrame" and discuss its properties.

This tutorial builds on the skills developed in "The Line Through Two Points" and "Introduction to Graphing Functions" tutorials.
