Homework 3 - Week 3
- Assignment
Think about a simple shape animation that you would like to create, e.g. something that could evolve into a comic strip, a splash page, a moving logo, an explanatory animation, etc. Then create a Flash file that includes:
- At least a shape tween
- Reuse of homework 1
- If you wish you can build the shape tween on top of your homework 1 (in any way you like). But this is by no means an obligation nor does it have an influence on grading.
- Submission date and format
- To be returned by Monday, at start of week 4 lesson
- Use the following Flash file name familyname-firstname.fla, e.g.
- miller-joe.fla
- ... I must be able to distinguish these files and we want to avoid overwriting.
- Other constraints
- Reuse of objects: 1/3 must be drawn by yourself, max. 1/3 imported but customized, max. 1/3 imported as is. (So you also can do everything by yourself).
- The shape tween must be made by yourself.
- You must fill in a document description using the same template as in homework 1.
- Homework projects are individual. If you work with others, make sure that the individual projects differ, i.e. the "reuse of objects" criteria above apply.
- The document description
Your xxx-xxx.fla file must include a document description.
- Insert it with menu Modify->Document
- Enter a title and description
- See the usual template
