Blah, today

Today, we have worked on creating a simple button from the ground up. We changed an onject into a button, change its color, fit it to size, and as well as making it fall in certain frames and stop/ play from there. One of the most important things I recall from this project was using the Actions panel and making use of it for our button, without it, our buttons are nothing.

Steps then Movie.. then grade.

Heres is a simple procedure you can follow on the assignment we have done in Mrs. Goeldner's class.. how to insert a Movie clip and use in our certain Flash document. For now, we're going to ro

Step 1: Of course, you must open up your Flash Program. Please do so now.

Step 2: Open your "car" Flash Document.

Step 3: After you you have your file open. Select the whole car object, head to your Menu bar and click on Modify then Break it apart.

Step 4: Once you have done so. Select one of the wheels in your broken apart car. Actually get the whole wheel, except the tire of course.

Step 5: Once you have selected your wheel, move it away from your car, and head to Modify, and click on Convert to Symbol.

Step 6:  A window will pop out, it will allow you to convert it into a certain type of symbol. For this purpose, choose Movie Clip. And name it as you wish.

Step 7: Head to your library and double click the Icon next to your Movie Clip.


Step 8: Select the object, then add a motion tween to the object.

Step 9: Select the any frame from the tween in the timeline, then head to the properties panel, then use the rotation option and rotate it as much as you wish.

Step 10: Look at the top left of your Flash program and click on “first scene.” Then align the object to its proper place.

Step 11: Select the whole car, add a motion tween, then select its last frame, and put it toward the far right of the stage.

Step 12: Play your movie, then see your Movie clip shine.

Journal thing... Animation

I am doing a project for my animation class, which is a frame by frame project. So who is the creator, yours  truly of course. What is it about, basically a dragon flying or some sort of wing moving and walking. When. well, as soon as I can and will turn it in when its due. Where, its going to be in my save file in Flash, but the setting or background, will probably be in a mountain or grassy field. Why, I am actually doing this for the sake of my grade and Mrs. Goeldner making me. Of course, I will have fun doing this and will try to make the most of it. It is not a total loss.

Le Review for Ze Animaton

Butterflies Invasion:
I like it, its clean, simple. Very well done.

Hobo?:
Pretty weird, but, entertaining to see. Has some nice loops, but should make the fps a bit slower so it wont look all jerky.

Pink Circulo:
Nice way of imagination. Need to have more animations though, not only one. Nice use of frames.

Green Dragoooon:
Nice rotation, and a good use of Alpha. But, should as well focus on fps if not intentionally.

Blue Shrooms:
What is this? Some weird thing out of hell?? No, this just poor, didn't even have a good quality what so ever. Needed more time and effort. Gosh damn, no, just no.... haha

Shippuden Leaps:
Very nicely done, I like the way each jump is the correct jump. Its very clean and simple yet interesting to watch. Good job.

K and M:
Nice usage of Motion Tweening. Make sure to edit your graphics well, a few stray marks there, but other than that. Nice way of changing Color.

Steart:
Like the way how everything is used. Good way of using the Motion Paths and Alpha. No complaints.

Bee VS Penguin:
Like the Tweeing like the rotation. Abuse the power of fps so it wont look jerky.

Patos:
Used Tweening to its max as done so. Made everything go everywhere.. Beware..

El Demonio:
Like  it, love it, first story I like. Nice usage of tweening.

Chicken Eats:
Next story I like. Nice way of using the timeline and its frames. The color in the end is nice and well and creative.

What and how I used it

On the Flash Animation I have created, I used a few simple techniques. Such as using Motion Tweens, Action Presets, enlargement, frame by frame, and ease. How I did this, was simply following the procedure. Giving the object a motion tween in its own layer, giving frames to each respective scene, enlarged the object from one frame to the next, and the Action Preset on another object in its own layer and changing it as necessary.
