Step 1: First you need to make a round ball. Select the oval too, and make a ball of your choice. Remember to hold down the shift key while drawing the "perfect circle". You can use solid colors, or to make the animation fancier, you can use a gradient.

Step 2: Select the ball and go to Insert > Convert to Symbol. Name the circle whatever you please and make sure the behavior is graphic.

Step 3: Make three key frames, each 10 instances apart. Each key frame should have the ball in the same position at this point.

Step 4: Select the tenth key frame. Now select the ball. Hold the shift key and drag it down to the desired position

Step 5: Select the ball at the tenth key frame and resize it. Squish it down a little by selecting the scale option in the arrow tool.

Step 6: Now select the 1st keyframe and go to Frame Properties > Tweening. Select the motion tween. Now make the easing in -100. Now select the tenth key frame and make the easing out 100.

Step 7: To see your animation simply press Ctrl + Enter or Control > Test Movie. Note, you can increase the speed of the movie in the Movie Properties menu by increasing the fps.
