text in flash

In this assignment we had to animate a verb using the 5 tweening methods.

windmill advert

The point of this exercise is to get familiar with the transform Palette.

Using our own artwork, we created an advert for "Nancy's Windmill Cottages" (see below).

ease-in / ease-out

To create a more natural movement to the previous exercise "tweening methods". You can use the edit curve adjustment tool, as I have done here.

tweening methods

In this exercise we practised using TWEENS in Flash.

First we had to create a symbol and then select it from the libary. Once you have placed your tween on the keyframe, you can then apply different types of effects (see my submissions below).

how did I host my flash movie?

I received lots of help from the 'Flash Forum' and Mary has provided a solution to this in her blog.

I used the free hosting site "Google Sites". I loaded my swf file's onto my new website and from the files info I just added the file name to the end (as per Chris's suggestion in the Forum). This gave me my URL address which I then added to my blog.

Good luck!

keyframe animation cont.

Chris gave me a great link on how to create a more convincing bird.

Take a look!

keyframe animation

I think I am slowly improving. I got a little carried away with this one, I started with a basic idea and then it developed into so much more.

animated apples

In this lesson we learnt about keyframe animation in it's basic form.

We used 20 apples from our '100 apples exercise' and created a basic 2d animation.

drawing in flash

This was my first experience using Flash. I found the drawing tools a little tricky and time consuming to begin with but with practice it seemed to get easier.
