Mid-term COAP 2110 exam preparation (Week 4)

Exam mode

• You will receive a *.fla file to complete/repair. Several tasks must be completed, some easy and some more difficult. The result must be

uploaded to the worldclassroom.

Exam contents

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

In particular, prepare for the following subjects:

• Use of layers
• Use and editing of embedded movie clip symbols (animations within animations)
• Frame-by-frame animation
• Motion tweening with "flight path" editing, size changes and tint
• Shape tweening
• Motion/Shape/frame-by-frame animation within an embedded movie clip
• Color gradients
• Simple transforms (e.g. changing a size or an envelope with the selection or the subselection tool)
• 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

• Flash First Steps (Index of all handouts, also available in PDF)
• List of Flash tutorials (full list, you only need some, i.e. see above)

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. Expect the (easier) functional equivalents of CS4-CS6 "normal" motion tweens ....
