Project Three :: Flash Demo Exercises

For Monday Oct 5th, make 3 short Flash files to reiterate what we looked at during the demo. Try to recreate my examples (linked to the red text below). Each file should be 600 x 600 pixels with a frame rate of 24 (under "modify>document").

1. Crossfade: make a 400 pixel circle and a 360 pixel square with the Flash drawing tools. Turn them into symbols. Put the circle on the stage on one layer, and the square on another layer. Fade the circle out while fading in the square.

2. Motion tweens: move circles at 3 different velocities across the screen in one direction while 3 squares move in the opposite direction.

3. Stop motion: Rotate a square at a rate of 180 degrees per second (there's a trick in this one!). The timeline should have a keyframe in each frame of your Flash file.
Hint for sequential rotation: (Modify>Transform>Scale and Rotate)

Is there a way to change the file type and upload our flash pictures on our blogs?

You can't unless you have a web space to host content. Lemme check with IT and see if it's possible...
