Hey, my first flash!

Tonight I made my first flash. We learned how to create objects, insert keyframes, and 'tween' images to make them move.

Creating objects is easy. Not much to say about this except to remember to convert the objects to symbols.

Inserting keyframes is the major lesson of the night. When you insert a keyframe it creates a point of reference in your frames. This allows you to move any objects you have created to new positions in your flash. The main purpose of this is to allow you to tween them.

What is tweening? It moves objects to all the keyframes you have created and goes ahead and does all the tedious animation for you. Very handy. It will also morph and change the object to fit whatever new form you have given it in it's new keyframe position.

Below is my flash.
