Intermediate Notebook :: Part 2 of 3

Continuing the Notebook Project, this segment will contain the following exercises in addition to the basic techniques. All of the exercises should be a unique scene in one .fla file.

  1. A working menu with three or more links to scenes
  2. Shape Tween
  3. Masking :: Static
  4. Masking :: Animated
  5. Animated Symbols, with start & stop…pause.
  6. Smoke_Fog
  7. Buttons (include an animated example, an invisible button, one with sound and either a small/big photo or a bitmap button.
  8. Panning
  9. Talk (syncing sound and phonemes)
  10. Rotoscope
  11. Walk Cycle (Bones)
  12. Spring (Bones)
  13. Working with sound
  14. Grunge
  15. Vectorize-ing Bitmaps
  16. Bitmap Animation
  17. Publish to HTML

Don’t forget (again) to:

  • Name your scenes, symbols, and layers.
  • Name the scenes in such a way that I don’t have to hunt for them.(For example “masking” = good name; “spotlight text” = poor name.
  • Eliminate unnecessary symbols from the library. (Select unused/delete)
  • Be sure that your menu and return scripts work
  • Include a recording or Garage Band piece of music.

How to Turn It In
