Essential Question #10

Q:  What are we using the Flash program to create? Tell me at least 5 terms and explain them that you learned as we did practice with Flash.

A:  We are using Flash to create short, animated movies.  The white rectangle in the middle of the screen is called the 'Stage'.  The gray part around the stage is called the 'clipboard'.  The 'Stage' is where you do all your drawing to make the movie and the 'Clipboard' is what you use to draw stuff that will be moving on to the Stage and also for storage.  And then you have all the 'Tweens'.  The Tweens being 'Classic Tween' 'Shape Tween' and 'Motion Tween'.  Tweens are very useful, they all allow you to have movement in you movie.  Now there is the 'Keyframe'.  They also help with movement in your movie.  How? By inserting a Keyframe then drawing in the Keyframe after you have drawn in the earlier frames.  But now I'm going to talk about layers. Layers are very important, they allow you to make one thing movie but not another.  Theses layers in Flash are just like the layers in Photoshop and illustrator.
