The Flash Interface Flash is a tool for creating interactive and animated Web sites Macromedia Flash is a multimedia graphics program specially for use on the Web  to create animations on objects,make movies having sound and actions

Advantages Of Using Flash Flash uses vector graphics, which means that the graphics can be scaled to any size without losing clarity/quality Flash does not require programming skills and is easy to learn Flash movies load much faster Flash movies provide interactivity Flash movies can use more than 256 colors

The Flash Work Environment When we create or edit movies in flash ,we work with following features : The stage Toolbars Timeline The Library, symbols Launcher bar

TIMELINE TOOL BOX L A U N C H E R STAGE

Recognizing various Flash Terms Object: An object is a line, a shape, a drawing, a text an imported graphic, an audio file or video clip. Movie: The basic name of Flash file. It consists of several scenes and a scene can contain number of layers, each layer further contain several frames and key frames . Stage The visual workspace where we can create our drawings.Default stage size is 550*400 pixels

Launcher Bar: It appears at the bottom of the Flash interface & gives quick access to different panels. Timeline : It contains sequence of images that make an animation. We can have as many frames and layers as one wants. Frames : Frames are the rectangular cells in the timeline. Each image is a frame.

Key frame: KEY FRAMES are point of change. A frame that make a change in an object properly from the preceding frame. The first frame on the timeline must be a key frame . Layers: Layers are vertical arrangement of objects where animation takes place. Layer maintains separation between objects and helps to organize movie content. The layers can display symbols and objects separately from one another or all at once.

Tool box : The tools in the tool box let us to draw , paint , select and modify artwork. Pencil tool to draw Paint bucket fill tool to fill enclosed areas with colors Oval tool to make circular objects Rectangle tool to make rectangular objects

Library and Symbols The library stores reusable elements called symbols. Symbols can be graphics,buttons and movie clips,sound files or fonts. To create symbols : Select the object(Ctrl+A) Group the object(Ctrl+G) Press F8

File Types In Flash Source Files(.fla) This file has an extension .fla. It can be opened and edited. Exported files(.swf) This is the flash player file and can be viewed on any internet browser player plug in. Html files(.htm) They contain details about pictures to be seen on web page.

There are Two Methods for creating an animation sequence in Flash- Frame- by-frame Animation and Tweened Animation

In Frame-by-Frame Animation Image is created in every Frame I n Tweened Animation starting and ending Frames are created.Flash creates the in-between frames all by itself. In it Flash stores only the values for the changes between frames. Tweened Animation is an effective way to create movement and changes over time while minimizing file size.

TWEENINGS MOTION GUIDE TWEENING -Moving objects from A to B along a customized path. TINT TWEENING - Graduated color changing of an object SHAPE TWEENING - Graduated change of one object into another.

MOTION TWEENING To create Motion Tweening Click a layer name to make it the current layer, and select an empty key frame in the layer where you want the animation to start. Create a fill circle (example) on stage Create a second key frame where animation ends by choosing insert a key frame.as shown in following figure
