Exam contents

I will test most points summarized in the Flash animation summary, (read this to check what you should know), except so-called "classic motion tweening"

Prepare for the following subjects:

  • Use of layers
  • Frame-by-frame animation
  • Motion tweening, including "flight path" editing, size and tint changes
  • Shape tweening (excluding shape hints)
  • Creation of movie clip symbols, unions and breaking apart objects
  • Motion/Shape/frame-by-frame animation within an embedded movie clip (!!!)
  • Color gradients and color gradient transforms (in particular rotations)
  • Simple transforms using the Transform tool / Transform panel, i.e. size
  • Alignment using the Align panel
  • Subselection tool (only simple operations like moving an anchor point or turning curve control handles that are visible)
  • Drawing (only a little bit)
Other information
  • "Open book/Internet": All materials are allowed (e.g. books, handouts, web pages)
  • Use of communication tools is strictly forbidden (no chat, no mail, etc.). No talking between students. Offenders may get an F.
Lectures notes

Note: Make sure to look at the Flash animation summary. It includes both the 2007 and the 2008 exam. However, these exams did you use "classic tweening" and motions guides which we will not test.
