This powerpoint shows you the different types of Animation that can be create In Adobe Flash CS6

1. Types Of Animation .
Abideen Gill

2. Motion Tween
A motion tween is an animation that is created by
specifying different values for an object property
in different frames. Flash pro calculates the
values for the property in between those two
frames. The term tween comes from words ‘in
between’
For example, you can place a symbol left of the
Stage in frame 1, and move it to the right of the
Stage in frame 20. When you create a
tween, Flash Pro calculates all the positions of
the movie clip in between. The result is an
animation of the symbol moving from left to
right, from frame 1 to frame 20. In each frame in
between, Flash Pro moves the movie clip one
20th of the distance across the Stage.
Tweening is used to show objects moving across
the screen to make it look like a mini clip or
moving picture.

3. Morphing
 Morphing is when you turn an
object shape over a period of
time. Morphing is the process of
transforming two images where it
seems like the first
melts, dissolves and rearranges
itself to become the second.
Many people use this technique
for banners or advertisements on
the Internet to make it look more
interesting and eye catching.
 As you can see on my own
animation I have chosen to
morph the smoke coming out of
the chimney, this give it more of a
realistic affect to the train moving
across the rails.

4. Masking
Masking is revealing portion of your picture or graphic
in the layer below. While surfing through the net you
might have come across lots of flash effects such as
sky backgrounds with wording or glitter boarding, and
wondered how it is being done. The answer for all this
is masking. Most masks involves something being
revealed behind another layer or object; for example
my birthday animation
For spotlight effects and transitions, use a mask layer to create a
hole through which underlying layers are visible. A mask item can
be a filled shape, a type object, an instance of a graphic
symbol, or a movie clip. Group multiple layers under a single
mask layer to create sophisticated effects.
To create dynamic effects, animate a mask layer. For a filled
shape used as a mask, use shape tweening; for a type
object, graphic instance, or movie clip, use motion tweening.
When using a movie clip instance as a mask, animate the mask
along a motion path.

6. Layers
There are four types of layers you can use in Flash:

When you create a Flash document, it contains only one
layer. To organize the artwork, animation, and other
elements in your document, add more layers. You can also
hide, lock, or rearrange layers. The number of layers you can
create is limited only by your computer's memory, and layers
do not increase the file size of your published SWF file. Only
the objects you place into layers add to the project's file size.

8. Button.
Buttons are symbols that contain four
frames. Each frame of a button symbol
represents a different state for the button:
Up, Over, Down, and Hit. These states
determine how a button visually behaves
when the mouse is rolled over it or when
the user clicks the button. This document

requested content.
The ability to preload content in Flash Player has existed for many years.
Developers have devised many ingenious ways to facilitate the loading of
external content (including other SWF files) to achieve optimal
performance on a wide variety of devices.

10. ActoinScript.

more versatile, scripting languages can be
used, such as Action Script in Flash. These
can change a simple linear animation into one
with more potential and can also allow user
interactivity.
You can see my action script I have used to

to.

12. Symbols.
A symbol can include artwork that you import from another
application. Any symbol that you create automatically
becomes part of the library for the current document.
Create
Symbol
You can create a symbol from selected objects on the
Stage, create an empty symbol and make or import the
content in symbol-editing mode, and create font symbols in
Flash Professional. Symbols can contain all the functionality
that Flash Professional can create, including animation. Modify you object
> Chose Convert
to symbol
Using symbols that contain animation lets you create Flash
Professional applications with a lot of movement while
minimizing file size. Consider creating animation in a symbol
that has a repetitive or cyclic action—the up-and-down
motion of a bird’s wings, for example.

13. Libraries.
The library in a Flash Professional document stores media
assets that you create in the Flash Professional authoring
environment or import to use in the document. You can create
vector artwork or text directly in Flash Professional; import vector
artwork, bitmaps, video, and sound; and create symbols.
A symbol is a graphic, a button, a movie clip, or text that you
create once and can reuse multiple times. You can also use
Action Script to add media content to a document dynamically.
Individual items in the library are stored as symbols. What makes
symbols powerful is that you can reuse them as many times as
necessary. Simply drag and drop a copy (an instance) from the
Library panel onto the stage anywhere in your movie. Most
importantly, each instance remains linked to the original in your
library. Any changes made to the original (or master) symbol
automatically update any instances of the same symbol used
throughout the movie.
