  • Import

Assignment:

  1. If you have not yet completed the “Pac-Man” animation we started last week, you should do so before attempting this assignment.
    1. Refer to Lesson 39 if you still need to know how to make Pac-Man’s mouth open and close while he moves.
    2. Refer to Lesson 40 if you need to know what the Pac-Man animation should look like when you’re finished and ready to start today’s Lesson.
  2. Locate the audio files at the top of this posting. You will find “pacman_beginning.wav” and “pacman_chomp.wav”
  3. Access today’s tutorial link and read through the information on Using Sounds in Animate CC on the Adobe website. Use the information provided to embed these audio clips into your animation. Extend the timelines to accommodate the “pacman_beginning” audio file length. Try to match the “pacman_chomp” sound to when Pac-Man eats the dots by moving the clips in the timeline to match the keyframes on the Dots layer.
  • If you don’t have dots for Pac-Man to eat, add some!
  • Remember you’ll need to use keyframes to get Pac-man to eat the dots.

Save your work. Turn in your animation (now with embedded sound) titled “Your Name – Pac Sounds.fla” file to today’s Google Classroom  assignment post by the end of today.
