Flash Animation Basics

I have made a few very basic animations. The first one simply shows a ball falling, squashing, unsquashing and bouncing back up, easing in and out to make the ball faster the nearer it is to the ground. LINK

The second animation is the same as the first but the lighting changes as though a light is shining from the centre of the left hand side of the screen. This is done by using the gradient tool and moving it differently to the movement of the ball. LINK

The third example shows the ball bouncing towards the screen, getting larger and then disapearing. LINK

Finishing Things

Been another week or so without doing this blog! I keep forgetting. I have mostly been finishing things off, such as bringing the narrative project to an end, completing my interactive narrative (though I'd pretty much finished this in my last post) and writing up a report on the Narrative Project.

I have also been creating a range of basic flash animations using the shape tween tool which I had not used before our lecture. I will keep creating these animations, gradually making them more complex to help myself learn further skills in flash.
