Flash
-
Motion Tweening
-
Create a keyframe on frame A, paint your object and select all of it to CONVERT TO SYMBOL (graphic).
-
Create a keyframe on frame B, down the timeline somewhere, and move your symbol to where you want it to go.
-
Right-click on any frame between A and B on the timeline, CREATE MOTION TWEEN.
-
-
Motion Tweening w/Animation guides
-
Right-click the layer on which the objects you want to move are and CREATE MOTION GUIDE.
-
Draw path on the guide layer (pencil tool)
-
Go to frame A and move object to beginning of path. Go to frame B and move object to end of path.
-
-
Shape Tweening
-
Create an object
-
Do NOT convert to symbol; if the object is already a symbol, right click and "Break Apart" all the way down, until it can't be broken down anymore.
-
Create a keyframe later on the timeline. Delete the old object and draw a new one. Again, make sure this object is NOT a symbol and is broken down entirely.
-
Click on a frame between A and B. Check in the Properties down below the stage for a "Tween: <dropdownmenu>" option and select SHAPE TWEEN
-
-
Buttons
-
Paint a button and CONVERT TO SYMBOL (button)
-
Double click the button to access alternative "settings" of the button (up/down, etc.) Create a keyframe on these other settings if you want to the button to look different on certain actions
-
Open up the Behaviors window
-
Select your button and add a behavior, such as "Go to URL" or "Go to frame and stop" or "Go to frame and play"... etc.

Journal Question
None, as there was no time thanks to the lab's technical difficulties.
What is your favourite city in the world that you have visited so far?
A simple answer will suffice, or feel free to go into detail as to why.
Homework
Decide upon your project topic and plan out the site a little bit (on paper or in your head) and share it with your TA/Kass/Trevor on Wednesday to be approved so that you can get working on it!
Create a flash animation that's at least 10 seconds long and must include at least one button.
Add the assignment to the log for today.
