Draw a rectangle in the first layer and make it appear on the stage for 2 seconds. 4. Draw a circle in the second layer and make it appear on the stage for 3 seconds. 5. Test the movie (Ctrl + Enter) 6. hide the layer (MyLayer) 7. Test it again.

Animation Animation in flash can be done using: Animation in flash can be done using: 1. Frame by Frame animation You can create motion here by drawing shapes (with small changes) in each frame. You can create motion here by drawing shapes (with small changes) in each frame. 2. Tween Animation Tween (from between) is to ask the flash to determine the behavior of an object if we give it the initial and last state of that object. Tween (from between) is to ask the flash to determine the behavior of an object if we give it the initial and last state of that object.

Frame by Frame animation The following example shows how we can prepare animated shape using frame by frame approach The following example shows how we can prepare animated shape using frame by frame approach ex) a growing line (growingLine.fla) ex) a growing line (growingLine.fla) 1. Create a flash file 2. In frame #1, draw a small square. 3. Select that square and take a copy of it. (it will be pasted to other keyframes) 4. MLC on next frame, press F6 (Insert Keyframe) 5. Paste that square in that frame and put it in front of the previous square(connected with it). 6. Repeat the steps (4,5) a number of times. 7. Test the movie (ctrl + Enter)

Tween Animation Tween Animation could be done using two main methods: Tween Animation could be done using two main methods: 1. Shape tween: Simply, It is the transformation of an object shape from one case to another. Simply, It is the transformation of an object shape from one case to another. 2. Motion tween: Simply, It is moving an object from one place to another. Simply, It is moving an object from one place to another.

Shape Tween Ex) transforming an object from a circle to rectangle. (shapeTween.fla) Ex) transforming an object from a circle to rectangle. (shapeTween.fla) 1. Create a flash file 2. Draw a circle in the first frame. 3. MRC on frame#35, then, Insert Blank Keyframe. 4. Draw a rectangle in that frame. 5. MLC on frame#1, then go to (property inspector) and choose (shape) from Tween DropDownList. 6. Click (Ctrl+Enter) to test the work

Shape Tween 7. Create a new layer. 8. Write any text on the stage using (Text Tool) from toolbox. 9. Convert it to shape by : selecting it and choosing (modify  Break Apart) twice. 10. After that, insert Blank Keyframe in frame# Add another text on a different place of the stage and apply step 9 again. 12. MLC on frame#1, then go to (property inspector) and choose (shape) from Tween DropDownList. 13. Click (Ctrl+Enter) to test the work
