Topics Discussed:
  • Starting a new document in Flash CS5.5 using the Welcome screen.
  • Frame Rate
  • Stage Properties
  • Shapes
  • Tweens
  • Motion Tweens
  • Keyframes
  • Layers

Assignment:

  1. Produce a new Flash ActionScript 3.0 file. Name it “Your Name – Flash Day 4″. Make sure the FPS is set to 30 and the Stage size is set to 800 x 600.
  2. Use the Shape tools to draw a shape. Convert this shape to a Symbol using any of the techniques we learned earlier this week.
  3. Use the process demonstrated in the video to create a Motion Tween animation.
  4. Create a new layer and repeat this process with a different shape. Move this shape in a different direction.
  5. When you are finished, you should have two layers, each with a different Motion Tween animation.
  6. Turn in the completed “Your Name – Flash Day 4.fla” file to folder “39 – Flash Day 4 – Motion Tweens” in your period’s subfolder by the end of today.

  • Shape Tweens
  • Keyframes
  • Layers

Assignment:

  1. Produce a new Flash ActionScript 3.0 file. Name it “Your Name – Flash Day 3″
  2. Use the Shape tools to draw a shape. You may use Merge Drawing or Object Drawing. (Note: Do not use the Oval or Rectangle Primitives!)
  3. Use the process demonstrated in the video to create a Shape Tween that moves and transforms the shape. (i.e. change the shape, color or size and move the shape to a different part of the stage).
  4. Create a new layer and repeat this process with a different shape. Do this two more times, using a different motion and transformation each time.
  5. When you are finished, you should have four layers, each with a different Shape Tween transformation.
  6. Turn in the completed “Your Name – Flash Day 3.fla” file to folder “38 – Flash Day 3 – Shape Tweens” in your period’s subfolder by the end of today.
