TEKS: Technical Skills
January 13/14. A brief quiz will be given on Tuesday, January 19. It will cover the Flash workspace and terms. Warm-Up -- Create a new POST on your BLOG. Title it Flash CS3 – Concepts and Terms.
Complete Handout -- pick this up from the front table when you have completed the BLOG assignment. Turn in to the black box when complete. Continue with the Flash Tutorial This tutorial is suitable for you if you're opening Flash for the first time. It shows you some of the fundamental aspects of the program and how to get started using them to build a real project. You don't need to know anything about Flash or animation to complete this tutorial; in fact, you'll discover how easy it is to start using Flash to add elements to your web pages. This is Part 1 of a three-part article on how to build a simple animated banner in Flash and add it to a web page using Adobe Dreamweaver®. You'll learn how to create a file and modify its settings, import and add graphics to the Stage from the library, and create layers in Part 1. In Parts 2 and 3 you'll add an animation and create a button that opens a browser window. Then you'll specify publish settings and add the banner to a web page. Before you begin the tutorial, you should create a flash folder in your classwork folder on the student server. After you create this folder, create one inside of it called gnome. Go to the @pickup folder and copy/paste all of the files there to this folder. Continue with the tutorial. Using Flash for the first time – Part 1: Building a banner All files for this project must be saved to the classwork/flash/gnome folder. Use the filenames suggested in the tutorial. Using Flash for the first time – Part 2: Adding symbols, animation, and ActionScript You created, set up, and imported content into an FLA file in the first tutorial. You will create symbols, animation, and even write some simple ActionScript to make the banner function. Part 2 should be complete at the end of the class. If you finish early, you can review any of the links below, work on completing the cafe_townsend project, or continue with the third tutorial. Part 3: Publishing and adding a Flash file to a web page Homework/Follow-Up: there will be a quiz on Tuesday, January 19. Study the tools and the workspace below.
