My Flash Project

Flash Tutorial: Motion Tweening & Frame Animation  <--- this is the tutorial I followed to create my masterpiece! 

• Tween: Short for "inbetween." Shows that the first image combines into the second image. 

• Key Frame: Defines the start and end points on a strip of film. 

• SWF: Is an Adobe Flash file format used for multimedia.
• FLA: Is a multimedia platform used to add animation and video.
• Stage: Is the main working area in Adobe Flash where you create and manipulate your artwork.
• Timeline: Organizes your content into layers & frames. 
• Layers: Layers containing different parts of a picture that you are layering. 
• Object Drawing: Lets you place objects in front or in back of each other.
• Merge Drawing: Is when shapes overlap, merge or cut into each other.
• Symbol: Object (ex: video).
• Instance: Copy of an object.

What I did: I created a motion tween in Adobe Flash, for the first time! First, I choose a picture of myself. Deleted the background. Then, cut out my mouth. Added a black oval shape in place of it. Choose the start and ending points for the movement of my mouth. Added voice and there it was!

Stage (work area)

What I learned: How to use Adobe Flash and all the other tools, which I already had basic knowledge in from Adobe Photoshop. -- It was a long process, but I made it! :D
