I first ran across the term in Flash. I'm not sure if that is the origin but I think it has a large role in its popularity.

I believe it is the origin of the name but not of the functionality. Indeed before doing some flash few years ago, I didn't know that name was used.
Before Macromedia Flash existed, Macromedia Director already had tweeners. So the term is older than Flash at least. I actually think it's even older than that and comes from the animation industry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inbetweening Wikipedia supports me, at least in that Inbetweening is older than computer animation. The short term tweening might be younger. Sebastian
