Chapter Lessons Create frame-by-frame animations
OVERVIEW Chapter Lessons Create frame-by-frame animations Create motion-tweened animation Work with motion guides Create animation effects Animate text Creating Animations
3
Introduction Animation is an important part of a Web site in
E-commerce Education Entertainment Animation is made up of a series of still images “Persistence of Vision” is the basis for frame rates in animations Creating Animations
4
INTRODUCTION Introduction Frames rates of fps generally provide smooth computer-based animation Frame rates lower than fps often result in jerky images Higher frame rates may result in blurred images Flash uses default frame rate of 12 fps Creating Animations
5
Macromedia Flash Animation
INTRODUCTION Macromedia Flash Animation Animation is one of the most powerful features of Flash Basic animation is a simple process Move an object around the stage Change an object’s size, shape, color Apply Special Effects, such as zooming, fading, or a combination of effects Creating Animations
6
Macromedia Flash Animation
INTRODUCTION Macromedia Flash Animation Two animation methods Frame-by-frame animation Tweened Animation Creating Animations

Understanding Frame-by-Frame Animations
LESSON 1 Understanding Frame-by-Frame Animations Created by specifying an object that is to appear in each frame of a sequence of frames Useful when you want to change individual parts of an image Depending on complexity, animation can require a lot of time to produce Creating Animations
8
Understanding Frame-by-Frame Animations
LESSON 1 Understanding Frame-by-Frame Animations FIGURE 1: Three images used in an animation Creating Animations
9
Understanding Frame-by-Frame Animations
LESSON 1 Understanding Frame-by-Frame Animations The greater the number of images, the less change needed in each image Creating more realistic animation Number of frames creates varied results Fewer frames, jerky animation Creating Animations
10
Creating Frame-by-Frame Animations
LESSON 1 Creating Frame-by-Frame Animations Select the beginning frame of the animation Insert a keyframe on the layer in frame A keyframe signifies a change in an object Place the object on the stage Creating Animations
11
Creating Frame-by-Frame Animations
LESSON 1 Creating Frame-by-Frame Animations Insert keyframe where you want change to occur Change the object “Onion skinning” helps placement of image series Creating Animations
12
Creating Frame-by-Frame Animations
LESSON 1 Creating Frame-by-Frame Animations In each Frame, the car is in a different position Figure 2: The first six frames of an animation Creating Animations
13
Create Motion-Tweened Animation
LESSON 2 Create Motion-Tweened Animation Motion tweening is less tedious than frame animation Create a Start and End frame Flash creates the “in-between” frames Flash only stores the attributes that change from frame to frame, thus creating smaller file sizes than frame animation Creating Animations
14
Create Motion-Tweened Animation
LESSON 2 Create Motion-Tweened Animation Two types of tweening Shape tweening A “morphing” effect One object slowly turns into another Motion tweening Used to animate objects which are moved, resized, re-colored, or rotated Creating Animations
15
LESSON 2 Keyframe for where the car ends
Keyframe for where the car starts Figure 10: Sample motion-tweened animation Creating Animations
16
Create Motion-Tweened Animation
LESSON 2 Create Motion-Tweened Animation Select the starting frame Insert a keyframe, if necessary Position the object on the stage Verify that it is selected Choose the Create Motion Tween command From the Timeline option on the Insert menu Creating Animations
17
Create Motion-Tweened Animation
LESSON 2 Create Motion-Tweened Animation Insert a keyframe in the ending frame of the animation Move the object and/or make changes to the object Change the object’s size Rotate the object Creating Animations
18
LESSON 2 Things to Remember If you change the position of the object, it will move in a direct line from start position to the end position If you reshape an object in the ending keyframe, the object will slowly change from the starting keyframe to the ending Creating Animations
19
LESSON 2 Things to Remember When you select an object and create a motion tween, Flash automatically creates a symbol You can remove a motion tween animation by selecting a frame within the tween and using the Remove Tween command Creating Animations
20
Work with Motion Guides
LESSON 3 Work with Motion Guides Creates a path that will guide moving objects around the stage in any direction Without Motion Guides, animations always travel in straight lines Animations are placed on their own layer beneath a motion guide layer Creating Animations
21
Creating Animation with Motion Guides
LESSON 3 Creating Animation with Motion Guides Two ways to work with motion guides Insert a guide layer, draw a path, then create an animation and attach the animated object to the path Create an animation, insert a motion guide layer and draw a path, then attach animated object to the path Creating Animations
22
Creating Animation with Motion Guides
LESSON 3 Creating Animation with Motion Guides Second method described Create a motion-tweened animation Select the layer the animation is on and insert a motion guide layer Draw a path using the Pen, Pencil, Line, Circle, Rectangle, or Brush tools Creating Animations
23
Creating Animation with Motion Guides
LESSON 3 Creating Animation with Motion Guides Attach the object to the path by dragging the object by its registration point to the beginning of the path in the first frame, and to the end of the path in the last frame Creating Animations
24

LESSON 3 Creating Animation with Motion Guides Creating Animations
25
Working with Properties
LESSON 3 Working with Properties Tween Specifies Motion, Shape, or None Scale Tweens the size of an object Ease Specifies the rate of change between tweened frames Ease values are between -100 (slow) and 100 (fast) Creating Animations
26
Working with Properties
LESSON 3 Working with Properties Rotate Specifies the number of times an object rotates clockwise (CW) or counter clockwise (CCW) Orient to path Orients the baseline of the object to the path Creating Animations
27
Working with Properties
LESSON 3 Working with Properties Sync Ensures that the object loops properly Snap Attaches the object to the path by its registration point Creating Animations
28
Create Animation Effects
LESSON 4 Create Animation Effects Resizing an object Rotating an object Changing the color of an object Creating Animations
29
Resizing an Object Using a Motion Tween
LESSON 4 Resizing an Object Using a Motion Tween Creating Animations
30
Rotating an Object Using a Motion Tween
LESSON 4 Rotating an Object Using a Motion Tween Select the object in the start or end frame, then rotate with options Rotate Tool option of Free Transform tool Rotate clockwise or counter clockwise a specified number of turns or degrees through Properties panel Stipulate an Ease value to cause the rotation to accelerate or decelerate Creating Animations
31
Changing an Object’s Color with Motion Tween
LESSON 4 Changing an Object’s Color with Motion Tween Numerous ways to change an object’s color over an animation’s time Change the Tint of the object Change the Alpha of the object Change the Brightness of the object Apply Advanced Effects Creating Animations
32
Using the Onion Skin Feature
LESSON 4 Using the Onion Skin Feature Allows you to view an outline of objects in any number of frames Helps in positioning animated objects on the stage Turn Onion Skin feature on via the Icon in the timeline Use sliders to determine the range of Onion Skin display Creating Animations
33
Combining Various Animation Effects
LESSON 4 Combining Various Animation Effects Combine motion-tween effects so they occur simultaneously during an animation Example: airplane object Enter from offstage and perform a loop Rotate the plane horizontally to create a barrel roll effect Grow smaller as it moves across the screen to simulate the effect of plane speeding away Creating Animations
34
Creating Timeline Effects
LESSON 4 Creating Timeline Effects You can apply Timeline effects to the following objects: Text Graphics, including shapes, groups, and graphic symbols Bitmap images Button symbols Creating Animations
35
Apply a Timeline Effect
LESSON 4 Apply a Timeline Effect Creating Animations
36
Animate Text Text can be animated like other objects
LESSON 5 Animate Text Text can be animated like other objects Resize, rotate, reposition, and change the colors Create a motion-tween to move text as you would an object Specify a rotation Creating Animations
37
LESSON 5 Animate Text Once you create a motion animation using a text block, the text block becomes a symbol Cannot edit individual characters Can edit the symbol as a whole Creating Animations
38
