Flash Eyeballs

Description-Students learn the basic tools and use of Flash timeline, frames, key frames, and tweens to create a 120 frame (10 second) animation. The animation must have 4 layers (Head, Eye Sockets, Eyeballs, and Ball), and use tweens to create synchronized animation that has the eyeballls following the motion of the ball around the screen canvas.

Students who finish early, are challenged to add additional layers, objects, backgrounds and animation to their exercise. Images can also be brought in from the web using this process: JPG images found on the web should be in approximate size to the canvas, opened in Photoshop, manipulated if necessary, backgrounds masked, and then the remaining areas other than the image made transparent. The file must be saved as a PNG, then Imported to the Library in the Flash file, a new layer created for it, then dragged from the library, and finally sized and positioned on the canvas to work with the rest of the design. Files are saved as native Flash files and exported as .mov files when completed.

head and ballfla

Reflection-

  1. We had to make a head and a ball and make the eyes follow the ball.
  2. I made a circle and put eye sockets in it then I made two eyed balls. After that I made the ball. Then I made the eyes follow the ball. It took a little bit because I had to make sure the eyes followed the ball.
  3. I tried the hardest I could on making the eyes follow the ball and there are sometimes when it is not so if I had to rate how good it was I would give it an 8/10
