The Process...Final Assignment

Actually,its a very simply and easy things.But with condition to do that,first had to understand the concept and how it run.Clear mind thinking was extremly important during the process,once mistake,had to undo a lot and waste a lot of time to figure out where is the error.The difficult part was time line and layer,but once you understand it,it will be very easy to follow. The understand of the time line and layer is the most importance factor that influence the progress of our final assignment.

Ok,now without any grandmother fairytale anymore.Let's see how it work.

Actually the whole final assignment just mix up with some basic effect only.There is only 2 bacis effect use in the final assignment which is Fade in fade out and Motion effect.

Organization is key to anything in life. The more organized you are, the more likely life will be easier on you. The same holds true in Flash. If you have created a flash project with one or two layers then a layer folder is more than likely not needed. However, if you have 10,20, or even 50 layers, you definitely want to create some layer folders and keep your project organized.

Step 1

Open up your Adobe Flash and select one of your flash projects. If you do not have any flash projects currently, that is ok, open up a blank Flash Action Script 3.0 project and in the Layer time line window just add a few by right clicking Layer1 and selecting Insert Layer from the pop up menu.
Now,let's talk about the Layer 1st.

Step 2

The first thing we need to do is get to the menu where you can add layer folders. There are variety of ways you can get there, but I find using the right click pop up menu is the easiest. In your layers timelime box, right click the top layer to bring up the pop up menu.

Step 3

You will notice on the pop up menu many options to choose from, however we are only interested in inserting a folder into our layers timeline. So, from the pop up menu, select "Insert Folder" which is the option to accomplish this.

Step 4

Notice that your layer folder was created. To add your layers to the folder simple drag them to the folder and drop them in. If you are unfamiliar with dragging and dropping visit the "How to Drag and Drop" tutorial. You will now see the layers you added to the folder indented underneath that folder. That represents that those layers are in that folder. Also you will notice a filled in triangle/arrow next to the folder. Clicking that icon will collapse or expand the folder.

So,layer thingy done.Remember must name all the layer else later will mess you brain or head...make sure everything stay organize and same for the components in Library as well. Organize well can save a lot of time.

Now we move to Fade in fade out effect and see how it work.

Step 1
Open a new flash document.
Using the text tool (t) type your message on the stage. You can choose whatever font type or font size you wish.

Step 2
Convert your text message in to a symbol by pressing F8. Then give your symbol an appropriate name, check movie clip and click ok.

Step 3
On the timeline insert a new key frame at frame 20 and 40 by selecting F6 at each frame. This creates a short pause after the text fade effect. You can make this pause shorter by decreasing the number of frames after the second key frame.

Now create a motion tween in between the first and second key frame. On the timeline right click in between the first and second key frame and select “Create motion tween”.
tannaa....done...easy ..rite?
once learn...implement into the final assignment,that all.

once master this 2 skill..then mixed up with it and play around with it...control time line..

ok now,here a little bit guide on how to control time line.
Labels was one of the important things in flash as well.


the pic above showed the labels.Looked at the upper right red box which is the location that you put the label name on the frame.

Labels done

Now we persist to actionscript2.0.Only 2 type of actionscript for the whole assignment. Which is "stop" and "on release" function.



the "stop" function was easy.Make sure choose the correct time frame and layer.Press F9,then the actionscript windows will pop up.and press esc+st(shortcut key),the code will automatically inserted.

The use of "stop" function is to stop the frame which got this code else the flash will play till the last frame.

ok..we continue with the "on release" coding~
"on release" function is use in the button.

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("people");
gotoAndStop("456");
}

after click on the button which got this code,will go play on the frame that label with People and stop at frame 456.

tanah...here all the elements that use in our final assignment.
just mixed all.
