A dual-flush flapper valve assembly, set for a normally short flush, is provided for use with a pivoting flapper valve in a flush tank. The assembly comprises a weight, which moves back and forth along a guide relative to the flapper's pivot point. The moveable weight, if activated, temporarily reduces the turning moment arm of the flapper for ensuring a long flush. The assembly further comprises an actuator to trap and release the weight, resulting in either a short flush (when the weight is remote from the pivot) or a long flush (when the weight is close to the pivot). The flapper assembly is engageable through a resistance force, for selectively triggering the actuator, shifting the weight and resulting in a long flush. After a long flush the assembly resets for a short flush, until activated once again.
