Class one review (in progress) 1. Creating a graphic object. i. Both the Oval tool and the Rectangle tool create graphics that have two parts: 1. a fill color or pattern or none (no fill color). 2. a stroke color or none (the stroke could also be called the border or outline). The red slash choice means you do NOT want any color for the given Fill color or Stroke color. If you want a hollow square instead of a filled square, choose the red slash for no fill color. If you do NOT want to have a border (also known as stroke or outline) around the rectangle or oval, choose the red slash for no stroke color. 2. Converting a graphic or set of graphics into a symbol. Modify menu, Convert to Symbol command allows you to create a symbol, which is a modification of a raw graphic shape you have created. F8 is a function key shortcut for this essential Flash command. Where does the new Symbol go? It is a new entry in the Library. What is the Library? It is one of the Panels. 3. What is the Property Inspector? What is a Property? Try to think of at least 3 or 4 different properties that we saw in the Property Inspector window today. We will discuss them as we review today's introduction to Flash on Wednesday. Hints: The Stage has properties. The rectangles you draw have properties. The circle had properties. 4. How do you select something in Flash? Does it make a difference how you do it if its a SQUARE that has a border (stroke) in contrast to a SQUARE that has no separate border (outline or stroke)? 5. What is a keyframe? (See your Powerpoint presentation handout). 6. How do you insert a keyframe? Why did I insert keyframes at frame 15 AND at frame 30 of the Timeline? Think about that for Wednesday. F6 is the keyboard shortcut for inserting a keyframe. Insert menu, Timeline submenu, Keyframe command... 7. I will put some links on the web page later today. 8. I will have a one page handout about Motion Tweens on Wednesday. Today, two Motion Tweens were inserted into the timeline. There was a Motion Tween between frame 1 and frame 15. ----- There was a Motion Tween between frame 15 and frame 30. ----- The theBall symbol fell to the bottom of the stage from frame one to frame fifteen and then it bounced back up to the top of the stage from frame fifteen to frame thirty. Ease in to the motion as it falls, and Ease out of the motion as it bounces off the ground.
