2/28/08 - Flash - Lesson 1

Today I tried to do Lesson 1 of Flash, but for a very long time I could not drag the pour_bottle symbol onto the stage! Since I could not figure out how to do that, I couldn't get any farther than step 4 of the section called 'Adding an item from the Library panel'. Frustration! I began planning for the March 10th project, but eventually I figured it out - I didn't have the pour layer selected. I reached step 1 of 'Using motion tweens to animate an object'. From the small bit of Flash that I did get to work on, I learned about the Stage and Timeline on Flash, adding a new layer, and creating a keyframe (Insert>Timeline>Keyframe). This relates to TEKS 2(d), identifying and describing roles of computer technology, 6(a), describing the properties and characteristics of computer-related hardware and software.
