Simon Lesson 3 - Bouncing Ball and Timeline Effects

I learnt a lot of things in flash today. I completed a bouncing ball in Adobe Flash Action script 3.0, I achieved this by  creating a symbol in Adobe Flash. I learnt many tools such as the motion guide tool, which allowed me to create a path for my object  to travel.  I also, played around with the timeline effects which helped me to do many different effects such as blur, fading, scale , change colour and exploding image up into pieces.

Some other tips which I learnt in today's lesson was publishing the file as swf, so you could open it up and player the actually sequence of the ball jumping up and down.  We got told that only JPEG and GIF files could be imported into flash because otherwise the flash file would get too big and probably cause the Adobe Flash to debug and shut down.  A tip to prevent this was to go to image and click on break apart which changes the pixels to save space.

From this lesson I will be able to take this further by experimenting with these techniques and use them for my 60 second animation. I would use the motion path tool to follow my animation.

Problems :

Some of the problems which I encounter which could be an issue is creating a complex path for my object because when i played my animation it wouldn't work.
