Macromedia Flash Player
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today Mr.Case showed us how to use Macromedia Flash player. Flash is used for making advertisements on a web site, or even making a cartoon using this program. Macromedia it is kind of easy to use. Now im going to explain how to use this awesome program.

Flash can create two types of tweened animation using time line: Motion Tween& Shape Tween.Motion tween is nothing but tweening a Symbol's movement from one position to another. To make the motion move all you have to do is provide Flash with Symbol's initial position, provide Flash with Symbol's initial position. These are the steps that you have to follow to make the motion work:

1. Open a new flash file (Ctrl+N).
New Document window will appear.Select General panel and choose Type: Flash Document . Press OK.
2. If your time line window is not open, press (Ctrl+Alt+T).
3. Now you can see a single Layer called "Layer1" in your timeline Window.
4. Select the first frame. Put your picture in the frame. File>Import>Import to Stage, or just press (Ctrl+R).
5. Right now your Symbol is in frame1 of Layer1. Select frame 20 and press F6 to insert a new key frame.
6. Select any frame between, 2 to 19 and select Motion from the tween pop-up menu in the Property inspector.
7. Now press (Ctrl+Enter) to view your motion tween.

That is what we learned in class basically. Mr.Case also told us to make a very small Flash for our homework.
