(provisional, needs to be adapted to CS6)

Week 2 - COAP 2110

Topics

  • Motion animation and embedded movie clips
Introduction to motion animation
Guided motion animation (old style, optional)
Moving embedded movie clips

Homework 2 - Week 2

Assignment

Think about a simple animation that you would like to create, e.g. something that could be part of an animated comic strip, of a moving logo, of an explanatory animation, etc. Then create a Flash file that includes:

  • At least one motion tween (animation) of an object
  • A frame-by-frame animation of the object that is tweened
  • Some sort of background
Submission date and format
  • To be returned by Monday, at start of week 3 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.
  • Upload the file to the Worldclassroom (Blackboard)
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 motion animation must be made by yourself.
  • 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.
Evaluation criteria - bonus and malus points

See grading form

The document description

You must document your fla file, i.e. fill in a document description using the the homework template

Hints
  • Go for something that is simple
  • Don't forget to add a little frame-by-frame animation of the object that is moving.
  • Type of background depends on your objectives, it can be just a color.
  • Use this exercise to prototype some feature of your term project.
  • Remember the academic honesty policy ! Homework without credits given to external resources used will be refused.
