MC Included: go_btn, stop_btn, link_btn.
The tutorials contribute in showing you how to make buttons as well as letting you create the most creative button possible (like my stop button) in very dynamic ways. I used a copy of my project 4 and added to it (the buttons and actionscript). I also copied the stoplay actionscrit to this animation. The URL I used for the web link was a video of a commercial of the new Mario Galaxy game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rw0KYdjQpw&feature=related). And I guess that's all I have to say.

Project 5

Tutorials: As always, all of the online resources and tutorials were very helpful. They made it a lot easier for me to complete this project - along with all the work we did on buttons and action script in class.

How I completed this project:

Movie Clip: The movie clip I included was for the stop button's over state. I chose to insert a Motion Tween and change the alpha of the button so when you'd mouse over the button, it would flash at you.

Stop Button: I decided to make a simple looking button to kinda match the simplistic design of the play button from the common library. My stop button has different states.

• Up State: 100% Alpha
• Over State: Alpha movie clip (mentioned above) and a Ping Pong ball sound from the Common Library. I chose this sound because it was the least obnoxious one I could find, lol.
• Down State: Adjusted the color of the button to white from red.
• Hit State: I'm not sure if it's possible to change this, since it seems to be a layer reserved for the hit box. I changed the color of the hit box to make it easier for me to see if that counts. :)
  

Play Button: This was the button I chose from the Common Library. I changed the color of the button from the library version. It was originally light blue. I also added text and changed the color of the triangle play icon. This button has four layers.

• Text
• Center Circle Outline
• Center Circle
• Outer Circle

Action Scripting: I included the action scripting requirements in the ActionScripting layer. I checked my code and have no compiler errors. Also, I was able to use the buttons to play, stop, and visit the class blog as intended. I noticed that my SteamIK coming out of the geyser is not affected by the stop(); action scripting that I included to stop the movie on the first frame. Is this because the animation for the steam isn't in the main timeline, but inside the symbol itself? (I hope so, otherwise I have no clue how to adjust that!)

Thanks!

I do not seem to have enough memory to make this a movie clip:

Link Here


Create two buttons:
The Surf Button is one multi layered button with 3 messages, and fades out its movie clip in the over state with sound in the over state.
I made this button for other purposes and changed the text for this scene. It is the Go button.

The Mermaid is the stop button; she has sound and 3 messages.

The Link text button changes the messages it gives and the colors change.

I redid this project so now there are no scenes. I understand better how to extend the time line to create scenes within the project.


Add Action Script link to a URL:
The link, called “Link” in purple is going to my url and works.

I could not import the movie clip; my computer has said not enough memory for this action. My system is really hooked up so this surprised me; I will have to get another memory card in the future.

Project 4

I made a grave scene (all free hand... i cannot draw!! sorry!) with using a windy sound wav file to go along with it. I made the branches of the tree move, and the arm coming out of the grave move. I watched most of the tutorials, and found all of them very helpful. I would definitely recommend if you get stuck, and think you know it, to sit and watch a tutorial which can give you a different perspective on how to perform the task you are trying to do.

I definitely enjoyed doing this project. I'd like to keep working on it along with project 5 to make it look a little better... more polished.

thanks!
:-)

Jessica Hirsch: Project 4

Tutorials: The tutorials were a huge help to me. I waited until the last minute to start this project because I didn't have any idea of what I was going to do this time around. I had to look at the grass tutorial and the IK tutorials again to remember how to use those tools in my project.

How I completed the project: Well, this time I decided to give myself a break and try to keep it a little bit more simplistic this time. :P Here's what I did:

• I imported the bitmap image and traced it to make it into the background for the movie.
• My IK animation using symbols linked together is the palm tree that I drew.
• My "new symbol in a movie clip" animation is the steam coming from the geyser.
• The sound I used was from freesound.org and is the jungle-theme that you hear playing in the background during the length of the movie. I wound up using Audacity to clip the part of the sound file I wanted (it was originally three minutes long) and it worked great!
• My watermark is in the bottom right-hand corner of the stage.
• Oh and I added a fruit falling from the background tree, just for fun.

This was a pretty fun project, but I have to admit...while using the bone tool my brand new computer was lagging hard after every bone was added or moved around - and if I ever mistakenly clicked on the background - oh boy. I had to get up and walk away for minutes at a time while the computer just sat there and thought about what it was trying to do. It was pretty frustrating at times. :/

Orson - Project 4

1. Create two Inverse Kinematic, IK, elements:
a. Use symbols connected by bones

This applies to the horse pinwheel at the end.

b. Use a shape connected by bones

I used this for the horse's front right leg.

2. Bitmap background
a. Import bitmap and then trace bitmap to convert to a vector graphic.

This applies to the first background bitmap.

3. Add Sound (5 points)
b. Please state in the blog what import choices you made.

I chose the mp3 and 64-bit settings. I edited the sound clip in Soundbooth.

4. When you have completed this project, post the following to the Class Blog. (10 points)
a. Please discuss how the tutorials may contribute

I watched the video on adding sound. It was very helpful.

b. Discuss how you completed this project

I wanted to see if I could recreate the first bit of the opening credits to "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" I'll see if I can keep going for Project 5 and add some interactivity. At this point I don't know exactly what, though.

Eric's project #4

Here are some molecules bouncing around the stage. Some are not sticky, like water above its boiling temperature. Others are sticky, like oil...

Click to see animation

(I am not including the .mov as I designed it to loop and I don't know how to make the .mov do that.)

Tutorials - I don't have the patience for the videos. I prefer the book as I can scan through to find what I want. The online text tutorials are tolerable. I only really used #5 as I was failing to select the full shape before trying to add bones.

Completing the project - after reviewing the assignment I created my usual storyboard blank with key requirements and space to create. This molecule theme seemed to fit the bill, particularly since IK appeared to be able to solve the problems I have been having with molecules in my chambers and pumps.

With that I figured what I would need to import and went out and found the plasma background image (newscenter.lbl.gov) and the sounds (freeloops.com and pacdv.com).

And then I animated:

Symbol IK: the water molecule using an Oxygen symbol and two Hydrogen symbols. There are also two handle (invisible) symbols so that I could change the bone lengths from the oxygen to the hydrogens. I deviated from the assignment here because I put the rotation/tumbling motion in a New Symbol Movie Clip, which solved a motion problem I had been struggling with on previous projects (those become blobs.)

Shape IK: the oil molecule. I did not spend enough time with the bind tool, so the shape gets messed up a bit. I just don't seem to get along with shapes - they take too much time that I don't want to spend.

Bitmap: cropped and resized using Fireworks. I chose my vector graphic conversion settings to maintain as much of the appeal of the gradient without locking up Flash.

Sound: I imagined what I wanted and went out and found it. I don't do sound editing. These were so small they didn't seem to need compressing, but the velcro sounded better with the ADPCM than the default MP3.

Project 4
Step1
I created my dog at the coast made him a bitmap. I made his tail alittle long and wag to right and left.
Ialso created a several wooden crosses that a swaying in the wind all together.
Step 2
I changed to picture of the coast into a bitmap background.
Step3
I imported a dog barking three times in a loop (sounds just like YD)
Step 4
I watch the tutorials multiple times. I didn't get the information on how to some things. I spent two 3 days working on trying to move the leg. I finially gave up after being totaly fustrated with the Flash program. I just am not getting the help I need to complete these projects!

My choice of sound was the dragging of metal in the sand (found in the sound common library) that went well with the living treasure chest dragging its tired self through the sand. And to me (personally), the breathing grass tutorial (where we did an in symbol animation) inspired me to recreate that style of grass (because it was very visually appealing to me). So I did the grass again only this time, I made a lot of the grass (and made them dance using the bone tool) in my in symbol movie clip. But before that, I made something I'd like to call the prickle out of one symbol and a few copies of another and used the bone to make it bounce up and down. And before that, I imported a jpeg image (pyramids of Giza) to the stage, altered its size using one of the transform tools. Then I used the bitmap to make a few alterations to the image (Color Threshold: 150. Minimal Area: 6. Curve Fit: Tight. Corner Threshold: Few Corners.) and made that image into the background of my stage. The end result, my own twist of the Super Mario Bros. desert level. Actually it's not the same as that, but it was all I could think of.

Create two Inverse Kinematic, IK, elements:
The starfish symbols, whale bottom and tail messing around on the side.
I like the way they move together and get to the rocks, I resized them along the way. I changed their tint.

I used the online tutorial and made sea grasses. I selected simple slow in the motion editor, changed the easing -100. I used the tints several times adjusted the sizes with the transformation tool in the various layers of sea grasses.

I cut out of photos the mermaid (I used the alpha to fade her) the time dancer and the killer whale, I traced them in Photoshop cut them out and layered them.
I used the paint brush to add the white to the whale.

Bitmap background
I re-sized all my background photos to fit the stage, in Photoshop..
My third scene above the sea I imported the bitmap to library right clicked to bitmap properties and choose Custom. The image was set at 50 I choose 100 and allow smoothing. I traced the bitmap under Modify for color threshold 40, min area 8 pixels very smooth and normal these were the default settings and where great I love how it looks. I converted it to a symbol also. Don't know why...
Ive added my boat at the last minute, its too fast and I want to get a nested version going later. I added a treasure chest, its just moving around a little as a motion tween.

Sound

I used sound booth to edit the clips. I used file import to library for my sound clips to flash. I have two sounds in the first clip and one in the second.
I took the one sound off the first scene and placed it in the second scene.
That is my favorite tutorial. I watch all the tutorials and some over and over again; I find them mostly all very helpful and can’t get enough of them!

Flash Midterm - J Breanne Smith

KULER COLORS USED: out of a collection called Summer Breeze I used #5ECB41 for the grass, #FFD425 for the sun color, and #00E7D2 for the sky/background.

I used all five symbols necessary - cloud, bunny, bird, leaves & flowers. I did not re-create one from a previous project, as I am trying to evolve with each project I complete and try new things.

I used the bunny for the classic tween. I felt like this was appropriate because I wanted the bunny to move along the bottom of the screen. Classic tween is the easier of the tweens for me.. along with motion.

My intended results for the cloud that bounces back was to continue the flow of the clouds, but it doesnt really look like that! I am trying!! :-D

I chose simple as my motion preset because I didn't really need the object to do anything other than move across the screen.

I chose a motion tween for my "own choice" tween. I made my bike come on the screen, move, and stay by the tree, prior to my blanket being laid down & book.

I had a lot of fun making this project. Even using the boning tool for the blank to "move" with the wind.

Eric's midterm

(text is probably easier to see at: http://sws.pcc.edu/student/CAS175_pdeangel_27343/erickirchner45/Midterm/MidtermEricKirchner1.swf)


This project shows a scroll pump removing gas from a chamber to reduce pressure.

From Kuler I searched for a metal theme and picked Melting Metal: 353e3b, b54765, ed7f3c, fee957, ebfefe.

I reused the electron symbol and modified it by adding a nested tween. It doesn't really need to be here, but the nested tween really solved a tough motion problem for me, and I couldn't resist.

Motion tween process: From my storyboard I decided how I wanted things to move based on the assignment and my needs, and then figured which symbols I would need, then made them and attached the motions I wanted. As I worked I realized I would need or make things simpler by adding some motion tweens (e.g. the blob exit) and added them in.

General details and objects: The pump, chamber and fixed scroll are all pretty much background made with various shape types and united with pen and bezier, grouping and breaking apart to allow modification. I imported a picture of a scroll and traced it in hopes of getting the shape right, but still had to modify it a bit to get it right. I had some thought to animate the exit pipe but didn't get to it so it is really background to.

The blob and exiting blob is a mix of shape tweens and frame by frame animation. It was not as frustrating this time since I had realistic expectations.

The electron, outside blob, scroll and first text and pointer are all motion tweens with various effects that I think are apparent.

The second text is a classic tween - I originally made it a shape tween but realized I forgot the classic. I didn't spend the time to fine tune the details - didn't take long to make but seemed easier with motion. I had originally thought classic would work well here since it is a symbol with some basic motions and color effects, but that is all doable with motion tween. I don't think "blocking" really fits in my vision of animation yet.

Project Storyboard

Drawing Objects:

This time, I tried to be more prepared and save time during the (sometimes frustrating) animation process. I had all of my assets drawn and ready to go. I practiced with the Bezier curves on my clouds and on the custom easing in the Motion Editor for the nested animations.

Symbols:

I created all new symbols and assets for this project, except for the bunny from my last project. I broke him apart and renamed him “Rabbit”.

Frame-by-Frame Animations:

1-Side View Pig: In order to make the pig look like he was eating like a spaz, I used Frame-by-Frame on him.

2-Chick Pecking Feed: The chick’s head is animated using Frame-by-Frame animation.

Classic Tween:

The sun at the beginning uses a classic tween. I felt it was a very simple animation and the classic tween was the best choice. All it had to do was move in a straight line without modifying the color, skew, etc.

Motion Tweens:

Tween#1: Bee in the pig pen.

Color Effect: Adjusted the alpha on the motion path.

Ease: Start and Stop (Medium)

Tween#2: Chewing Cow

Intended Result: I wanted a custom animation to make it look like the cow’s jaw was moving in a circular motion.

Tween#3: Chicks

Motion Preset: Created my own motion preset so it would look like the chicks were doing little bounces on their motion path.

Tween#4: Polaroid Picture Layers

Intended Result: I wanted it to look like I snapped a picture, then the picture shows up on the kitchen table. Once the Polaroid shows up, the actual picture fades in like a real Polaroid. I’m very happy with how this part of the project turned out.

Nested Animations:

Both the bunny and the sheep that bounce across the screen are using the nested animation that we learned in class with the stars.

Bone Tool:

I used the bone tool to animate the horses’ tails in the stable. I had to change them from a symbol to a shape in order for it to work.

Use Kuler to select color scheme

I use multiple swatches in Kuler and re created themes. However I used only single colors and none of the complete themes. I used custom linear color for my sky.

Drawing objects & New Symbols

I drew 2 wolves using the pen tool and brush; I reshaped one of the wolves. I used the same tools for the shale rock, the tree and cliffs. I used the deco tool to spray my leaves and flowers on the tree.
I downloaded and copied free graphics for the leaves on the tree and the birds and saved all these as new symbols.
I used my sailboat resized it and renamed it as a new symbol. It’s my icon.

Frame-by-Frame Animation is my fly in colorful signature.

Shape Tween

The moon becoming a half moon.

Classic and Motion Tweens

I used stars falling down and out from the waterfall. I had to name the stars into there own group and color category. I wanted to see what would happen if I used one group at the classic tween then the other two groups as a motion tween.
I don’t see the difference here.

The bird is a classic tween; I did the tutorial online and created 4 frames inside the same time line layer with different poses of flight of the hawk. Then I created the classic tween with 4 frames and unselected sync. Under looping I choose single frame. I choose 1 through 4 to change the flight of the bird. It is cool however not a smooth transition. I changed the ease in the properties to 100% ease out.

I used the stars flying up to the moon. They are motion tweens. I used the motion editor Basic Motion, Transformation and Color effects. I selected simple slow for the stars then custom selected all the color changes with tint. They change in size, position and color when the get to the moon from the pond.

I made 2 layers for the wolf moving onto the lower rocks. The first is a motion tween, I tried to make the second wolf pose a shape tween but the shape distorted too much. I went to Modify, shape and then add shape hints to try and get this tool to keep my wolf from blobbing out but this did not work. Then I “broke apart” my wolf, this worked, however then the wolf exploded and disappeared so I used a classic tween and the wolf shows his head down however it is not a very smooth transition as I had hoped.

I added the IK grass on the cliff.

Extra Credit nested motion Tween:

I created this star at home after class I adjusted the size of the star at the top so it appears like a little contraction is occurring when it touches the bottom. I posted this on the blog.

#333333
#666666
#999999
#CCCCCC
#FFFFFF
#990000

(I used others, but these were the ones I mostly used which count as my color scheme.)

Object Drawing Object: Rorschach on billboard in scene 1.

Primitive Drawing: Big C on radio tower in scene 1.

Merge Drawing: Everything else.

Grouped object: Everything in scene 1 except for apartment (Sweeney Todd) and shape tweened changing sky. More than 5 new symbols created in library. Other symbols were brought over from Project 3 and Dead Eddie (character design for main character). I modified symbol from Project 3, Weird Moon, and gave him hideous eyebrows. Other symbols (brought from Dead Eddie) are parts of main character which I used.

Classic Tween: Close up of only lit window on Sweeney Todd Apt. (scene 1). It was the only way I could get the camera to close in since we weren’t at using a stage camera (or whatever it’s called) yet. And I couldn’t use the motion tween or shape tween (without disfiguring it mid-transformation).

1st Motion Tween (Motion Editor): When Eddie tossed the newspaper to the ground (scene 2). When it was on him (he was asleep) it was symmetrical but as it hit the floor, I rotated and skewed it by a few degrees for effect. And as he tossed his phone away after that, I made it rotate slightly for some slight dynamic flying effect.

2nd Motion Tween (Custom Ease): This one I did after I did the 3rd listed tween. It was a motion preset that I had intended as the third, but I had to change the easing to change its direction (scene 5 with the van).

3rd Motion Tween (Motion Preset): The preset was named something like fly in-pause-fly out and I used it for that red panel with the giant coffin shaped cell phone as it rang (scene 2). (Thought I’d use it for a dynamic animated comic style effect.) I did this before the 2nd listed Motion tween in the instructions.

4th Motion Tween of my choice: It was a nested tween similar to that one we did in class. Only I used the cell phone on the desk (scene 2) as Eddie kicks that desk and sends it flying upward, although I had to begin the tween in mid-flight (next to the beginning). I also made it flip (wasn’t that awesome or what?).

Of course I loaded a lot more animations than that and only ask that you also count my 4th and final listed in blog motion tween as the Extra Credit nested motion tween.

Also please understand that as of yet, I wasn't able to upload my video to the blog. I'm gonna try in the middle of class, thanks!

1. The story board wasn't done due to not having a scanner and the kuler colors internet is not hook up to my computer.
besides that I am having to much problems understanding flash ( to many operations making it work I am confused).
2. My project is Ocean with fish swimming multi-layered and named with folders.
3.The drawing object was a wagon with stuff on it. The stuff on it was made with the pen tool to make the bezier tool.
4. I created 5 symbols for this project fish an starfish.
5 the frame by frame was the title of the project
6. The shape tween was a morphing sub.
7. The classic tween was fish4 moving up and down
8. The four motion tweens are
A. Starfish using a simple slow effect that changes color
B. Fish5 is a custom ease that swims from the side up to the top slows down then speeds up.
C. Fish6 I used a motion preset of the sign wave so the fish moves up and down
D. Sea urchin was was a med slow ease that crawl all over the sea floor.
9. This flash project wasn't any fun due to not having a good understanding on flash. I get stuck trying to make objects that don't work the way I want them to. I don't believe I am not getting the proper instructions to learn this tool.

Classic Tween: The classic tween is the soaring bird at the top of the image.

Shape Tween: The shape tween is the sunrise.

Motion Tween 1&2: The motion tweens are the flapping birds which use some custom easing, some start and stop easing and and some shape tween nesting. I also applied a color effect as well.

Objects: I decided to find some cool vector objects on the web to play with.

Tutorials: I like the tutorials, but half the time I don't know where I saw something, so if I'm stuck I use Google.

I found out how to upload videos - You have to use the old editor :)

Project 3 - J Breanne Smith

Project 3 - Tweens

This is my horrible attempt at this project! ha ha... i have a better one thought out for the final. :)

Classic Tween: Stars

Shape Tweens: Sun & Moon; Sky

Motion Tweens: Bat; Owl

I chose to make the sky a tween in order to make it go from day to night. On the motion tweens, I used the ease "damped wave" for the bat, and modified the ease. I also used the preset ease "wave" on the owl.

Answers for blog:

a) Tutorials have contributed a lot to my success with projects in this class. Even after we view some in class, I usually go home and review some other tutorials online in my study time.
b) I completed this project by story boarding it out first. I found this very useful in completing my project in a timely fashion. After drawing it out, I was able to take each step at a time by doing the background first, and working to the harder things as they came along. I did test the final product a few times before uploading to ensure it performed the way I wanted it to.

Nested Star ~ Figured it out !

Eric's Project #3

I decided to animate my Roots exhaust pump from my previous project.

I applied my first Motion Tween to the Yellow Argon Atom as it enters the pump. I used the custom easing to make it start slow, speed up as it got sucked in, then slow as it awaited the proper position of the pump vane. I also changed the y-scale to the custom easing to give some sense of motion to the spherical shape as it accelerated and decelerated.

For the second Motion Tween the same atom is exiting the pump. I used the Fly-out-left motion preset and changed the Simple (Medium) Ease from negative to positive so that it started fast instead of slow. I also added x-scale value and alpha so that it kind of fades out and goes away as it exits. I want your attention to go to the blob at this point.

I can't say I have had much of a chance to look at the tutorials. I just don't have enough computer face time to do my work, and my Flash project, and sit and watch tutorials. (I do not have, nor want a computer in my house.) What I have seen seems redundant with the class and I haven't found them to provide me much benefit. I imagine they might help me after this course is over and I get stuck on something.

Completing the project: As soon as I get the assignment I create a storyboard form leaving space to draw pictures, and also write key instructions from the assignment. I leave space around these to write down brainstorm ideas of how to complete the assignment within a theme, while also sketching how the images will look.

I thought I'd animate my whole project #2, but the shape tween difficulties described next caused me to pare that down to just the pump.

This is where things got sticky - I didn't feel like I had enough understanding of the tween types until late in the game, which gave me little computer time to play/fight with Flash. In particular Shape gave me problems. I just couldn't make it do anything useful for me. The morphing just doesn't work the way I need it to, and I basically ended up breaking everything into keyframes and doing frame-by-frame animation. That blob you see was originally a water molecule, but Frame had no clue how to morph it, and ultimately it stopped letting me edit the object. I even tried to leave it in just to show how screwed up it got, but by the time I finished, somewhere along the way Flash deleted the tweens! Even the blob was a struggle to get to behave. I just don't see this thing being useful to me.

Half way through that fiasco I worked on the classic and motion tweens. The classic tween is the Argon atom as it goes through the vanes. I got the impression you can't put a classic tween on the same layer as a motion tween, so there are actually two layers for the argon. This all worked pretty smoothly once I figured that out. The rotating vanes are also motion tweens - very easy to do and synchronize.

I am NOT happy about having to do another shape tween....

1. I created the heart pulse as the tutorial instructed.
2. My next flash document is a moon and sun with some objects moving and flying around.
a. My classic tween is the sun that goes from left to right curve motion guide.

b. My shape tween is the moon that goes from the left to the right. It starts off as a full white moon to a yellwow cresent moon.

c. The two motion tweens are a red wagon that was I created a custom easing as the
wagon goes across the screen then slows down goes off screen changes color and
returns back across screen. And the the other is a flying sauser that flys all over the screen using the simple slow and sine wave and changed the path and the color of the sauser changes to an orange color. all my obect are coverted to symbols.

3. The online tutorial were a big help in understanding tween in making this project. Well how I completed this project wasn't much fun I worked on it all Sunday. I forgot to save it and my computer crashed so I had to start all over and make a new one.

Jessica Hirsch: Project 3

(http://sws.pcc.edu/student/CAS175_pdeangel_27343/jessicahirsch10/Project3/project3.swf)

Classic Tween: The classic tween in my project is the animated snow. I love the way the snow turned out. It's my favorite part of this project.

Shape Tween: The shape tween is the animated stars. They move and 2 out of the 4 stars are skewed and change color from yellow to orange during the animation.

Motion Tween #1: The first motion tween I used was for my background deer. I applied the Start & Stop (Fast) ease to him, and adjusted the easing to I also changed his tint during his animation. I adjusted a lot of the points on his motion guide so he would follow exactly what path I wanted him to follow.

Motion Tween #2: The second motion tween I used was for my rabbit. I applied Stop & Start (Slow) with a negative ease of 46. I adjusted the points on the bunny's path to make sure he would follow exactly what path I wanted him to follow. I also adjusted the bunny's rotation on the line so sometimes he's looking up and sometimes down. It kind of looks like he's hopping along. I tried the bouncing eases for the bunny, but didn't like the way they turned out at all even after hours of adjusting and repositioning. So I decided to just go for the ease I chose and customize it to my liking.

Changes to Original Assets: I decided to "save time" on this project by re-using my Project 2. However, I made some changes to my assets for this project.

• I "broke apart" my original rabbit asset and modified it a little bit to give him some little paws, and a little more shading.
  
• I changed the alpha of the original stars in the background so they would be less noticeable so the focus in the sky would be on the snow and the moving stars.

Tutorials: I have found the tutorials very helpful if I get stuck. I prefer to just play around with something until I figure it out in some cases, because I'm more likely to retain the information that way.

Note: I worked on this project all the way through then forgot to make the notes until the end. I now don’t remember all the paths I took as I was incredibly challenge and focused on figuring it all out. I used symbols from my previous project and imported them and made new graphics that I converted to new symbols.

Classic tween / One motion guide:

My motion guide and classic tween is the bird. I used ease in and ease out in four places.

The sailboat I used ease settings -100% in, and then ease out 87%. I also reversed the path so it would go back across the stage. My boat is a classic tween.

Shape Tween /Shape should change color and form:

Moon and sun is the shape tween. Grey moon morphs in to yellow sun.

Two Motion Tweens / Use the Motion Editor to create a custom easing and use either the transform or color effects. The second motion tween should use a Motion Presets and Easing/Include at least one rotating or color tween to one of the above motion tweens:

The Frisbee I used the motion preset of flyin-pause-flyout. I went to the motion editor and used transformation skew x and y then I altered the angle of the paths and also used scale x and y to change the shape. There was a blur and invisible effect that I did not want with this preset so I went to the Motion editor to “alpha” and brought the % back to 100% in several areas to make it visible through the whole sequence. Other wise it would have disappeared half way through the end. Also when it first appears it was too small so I bought the size back quite a bit.

The star I changed position and size and used the motion editor for most all the attributes x, y and z changing the size and shape color and tint throughout the movement of the star across the stage.

I used my name as a fly in signature and changed the colors of each letter. I created a path for each letter to come into frame then made the frames appear at the end. It is a motion tween. It started out as a classic tween then I converted it.

The surfboard is a motion tween I used the wave ease in the motion editor to give it more movement. I choose orient to path.

The ball is a motion tween. I used in the motion editor under basic motion a custom preset of 2-Bounce in and set that to 4 bounces. I also choose a simple slow of 50.

If anyone is wondering about me not being here last week, I am sorry. I caught the flu. But although I'm still not 100% on this day, Monday, I am better than before and will make it to school tomorrow.
But enough about that, let's talk about my project. First off, I will talk about the main part of my project (the one that isn't the heart pulse). First I created a sky that I decided to use for my shape tween (as well as the earth as my foreground). I first made it a star-filled night sky before creating a day-time sky with a few clouds. I then used the shape tween to transform my night sky into a sunny sky (and my first ground into the second, grassy ground).
I then used my classic tween on my strange looking moon (the one with the mustache) as I made it fly across the sky after altering its trajectory a number of times.
I then made three motion tweens. My first was making the sun fly across the sky after the moon while it spun three and a one-fourth times (approximately). The second was one of a tumble weed where I altered the easing while it was set at Simple(slow). I also altered the skew and scale (on both x and y axis) and used a little 630 degree rotation. I also thought about using some blurring, but when I did, I knew nobody could tell what it was, so I set it back to normal and let my tumbleweed roll.
After that, I had a Love Hamster I made follow the weed on the slow bounce motion preset before moving off screen. I then made it come back up as a bigger hamster (for a close up) and made him do a little dance. Then I had him exit stage down.
The next day (Monday/today), I worked on the heart pulse using the instructions on the web site. And it turns out, it was done the same way I exactly thought it was. And that concludes my project.
