Create a Motion Tween
in Flash 3.0
- Open new file
- Action 3.0
Important
points*** the white area you see is called the stage and anything in the white
are will show up in your animation.
Anything created in the grey area surrounding the stage will not show up
on your animation. Look at the bottom of
the screen and you will see a thing called the timeline. Within the timeline are numbers that
represent the frame numbers ( remember there are 30 frames per second in video)
2. On the
right hand side of the page look for the “Properties window” If you click on the rectangle you can choose
a new color for the stage- choose a
light color
3. Still in the properties window, change the
size of the stage by clicking on the edit button and change the stage to 500x500
Important point*** in flash you can create layers-
for every new object, create and put the object on a new layer. Label them accurately so that you won’t get
confused with what is on what layer.
3. On layer 1
double click on the word “layer 1” and rename it “circle” Press enter
Important point****the cursor (red line) on the
timeline tells you where you are in time
- On the right hand side of the
screen select the oval tool ( located under the rectangle tool)
- Change the color of the circle-
the fill (bucket ) changes the inside of the circle and the stroke(pencil)
changes the outline
- Draw a small circle in the top
left hand corner of the stage
- ****Important****Select the
pointer tool (top) on the left hand side of the screen and draw a box
around the whole circle. If you
don’t make the box large enough to cover the entire circle, the outline
may not be selected
- Right click on the circle and
select “convert to symbol” ( the circle should turn to dots) Name the symbol “circle” A blue box should show around the circle
(it’s now a symbol)
- Right click on the circle and
select “create motion tween) A blue bar should how up on the timeline to
24 frames
- Click on the circle and move it
to the bottom corner. You should
see a spline path or dotted line on the stage. In the timeline a black dot would show
up on frame 24(that is a Keyframe)
Note***
a keyframe indicated a change or an end of something on the timeline******
- You can curve the spline line
path by grabbing a dot and pulling it
- Press enter and you will see the
motion that you just created
- Place the cursor at the end of
the blue line on the timeline- a double arrow will show- drag the frames
to 40 ( this will lengthen your animation)

timeline. Right lick on timeline
