5. Your Storyboard gives you…
An idea of how your animation will look
An idea of how the animation will flow
The number of scenes for your animation
What symbols are required

6. Deciding on Symbols and Scenes
There are three types of symbols in Flash
Movie clips - Moving symbols
Graphics - Non moving symbols
Buttons - Used to create interactive content within your animations

7. The Symbols we want to make are…
The star
The word “NOW”
The word “ON”

8. Scenes
We also know that there will be two scenes from our storyboard
