Creating a Flash Movie

- Consist of layers divided into frames : Frame: location and
length of time that a symbol or graphic in a layer appears
- Playhead : Indicates the current frame displaying on the
stage
Adding a New Layer

Creating Flash Animation
Types of animation:
- Shape: uses shapes you create in Flash
-> Can change shape position and/or properties
--> Creates straight-line animation between a start -> Can change shape position and/or properties Creates straight-line animation between a start
-
Creating a Motion Tween
- Same as shape tweening, but uses a symbol rather than a
shape
--> Allows you to use bitmaps
--> Can be moved, resized, rotated, morphed to a different symbol
Symbols
- Symbol: reusable object
--> Save an animation image as a symbols
--> This saves file space because the symbol is only
saved once
- Types of symbols:
--> Graphics (can't be shape tweened)
--> Movie clips (self-contained animation within a movie)
--> Buttons (Up, Down, Over, OverWhileDown states)
What is Flash?
- -Defacto standard for creating complex animation sequences in Web pages:
-->Use animated GIFs for simple animation, Flash for more
complex sequences

Flash Environments
Flash authoring environment
- Design environment (graphics tools)
- Scripting environment (create program code)
Flash player
- Users must have this installed on their workstations
- If not present, automatically prompted to install when they start your animation
