Use it wisely!

Before we could start on our own individual flash projects, we needed to complete our pool table and show it to Mr.Case so that we can get the approval of starting on our own project. I have a few ideas in mind, but I'm pretty sure that if I think harder on it, I can come up with something impressive. The good thing about learning flash is that you can apply your knowledge of flash into your summatives! Lets say you have a project that requires you to make some kind of presentation on the computer. What better way to do that than by using flash! You can then hand in your project for that specific subject, but at the same time, hand in a copy of it to Mr.Case for marks. Two projects in one! I think that's a very clever idea, and hopefully, if I'm lucky, I'll be able to do that too!
But before you can get a good mark for your hard work, you need to do the work, and do it well. There are many tips Mr.Case points out to us while he is teaching us something, so make sure you listen well so you can learn them. Today in class, we got our final time to work on our pool table, and get started on our own projects.
Here are some tips to help you make your project the best it can be.
If you want to add pictures, go to file import library, to bring pictures into your flash.
If you want it to fade in and fade out, click on your picture, go down to colour, alfa is your transparency. If you drag your picture from zero, and then increase your alfa to 100, it will start out faded and fade in.
To make a picture rotate, you need to click on transform tool and brings out dots on the picture so you can change the size and the way it rotates.
Onion skin shows you the frames before and after.
When you have a dotted line, it means that there it nothing there for you to insert a tween.
If you see a white circle, it means that there is no tween. And at the end of a tween, you will see a white circle.
Make sure to work on your flash projects so you can get them done and out of the way, so you also have time to work on your websites.
Have a great weekend!
