Evaluation

When we showcased our flashes feedback was given and for my flash in pacific they had said "the text can be hard to read at times", "it can be a bit repetitive" ,"nice use of sound effects" ,

Beta testing

Work in progress

this is my 1 st scene work in progress

I started by creating a background

i then added trees to the background 

I add the sun then I get the car and tween the wheels 

so it looks more like its moving

then add and a button label it to go to the next scene 

i then create a  circle to use for smoke  and then turn it in to a movie clip

and tween it growing and expanding while it is moving

then add 100% alpha to show it fade out and add a stop so it wont continue another

replay

then actionscript in the sound and the code to go to next scene onto the shape you labelled 

from feed back i was told to add captions to make the story more clear

repeat for scene 2 

Demonstrations

we did a demonstration on the following :
classic and shape tweens
motions tweens
actionscript
sounds
buttons
gradient transform
converting to movie clips
stops
Easter eggs

how these work:
classic and shape tweens 
these work by filling in the frames to show the transaction from 1  frame to another
the difference between shape tweens and classic tweens is  that classic tweens only work on movie clips


Motion tween 
motion tweens are like shape tweens and motion tweens but it has a path that the object will follow and you have to start the tween at the start of the beginning where the others will tween from any point

action script 
action script is basicly a way how the programme tells the objects to act

sounds
sounds are put in in two ways either drag the audio from the library and drag to the frames or actionscript the audio to play in that scene

buttons
buttons are click-able items that you can script to be able to do something that can help tell the story

gradient 
gradient transform is a way to change the direction of the colour.

convert to movie clip
convert converting to clips is to be able to change shapes to clips so that you can edit it or even put an animation inside the animation

stops
stops are a kind of action that on the actionscript it will stop at that frame instead of going past it

Easter  eggs
Easter eggs are objects you need to in order to use them rather than it being given to you so you would make it invisible and visible if hovered over

Storyboard

this is my story board I chose to make it in a more traditional way so that its was quicker to produce that creating on Photoshop due to time on Photoshop this would have taken a week however I knew that I'd save a lot of time so I decided to do the most efficient technique

the way how story boartds work is you draw out the story and explain what is happening when an actions happen
