Assignment:
- Produce a new Flash ActionScript 3.0 file. Name it “Your Name – Flash Day 4″
- Use the Shape tools to draw a shape. You may use Merge Drawing or Object Drawing. (Note: Do not use the Oval or Rectangle Primitives!)
- Use the process demonstrated in the video to create a Shape Tween that moves and transforms the shape. (i.e. change the shape, color or size and move the shape to a different part of the stage).
- Create a new layer and repeat this process with a different shape. Do this two more times, using a different motion and transformation each time.
- When you are finished, you should have four layers, each with a different Shape Tween transformation.
- Turn in the completed “Your Name – Flash Day 4.fla” file to folder “38 – Flash Day 4 – Shape Tweens” in your period’s subfolder by the end of today.
