Class Notes 08.02.2010

Objectives Learned Yesterday:
Tweening: need two key frames - one at the beginning and one at the end; allows you to move things across the stage without having to insert a lot of key frames
Classic Tween (Blue) - need two key frames and a grouped object (grouped objects have a blue box around object); moves object from Point A to Point B
Shape Tween (Green) - need two key frames and object must be broken apart (broken apart objects have dots in the image/shape); easily changes the shape of an object

Onion Skins: shows the individual steps of a motion tween (helps to see where objects actually go and can also help when tweeking a project)

Removing Frames ---> highlight frames and right click then delete frames OR CMD and put mouse at end until double head arrow appears and then drag that up and down to delete as many frames as needed

To break something apart ---> modify ---> break apart OR CMD B

Anything you want to move or animate has to be on separate LAYERS in order for everything to work correctly.
