Week 5

Wooo! You're back again. I know my last post was only an hour ago... but lets pretend it was a week later haha. Let's just say I need to learn some time management...

So today was our first full lesson with our new lecturer John! And today he taught us how to animate our Flash animation to crash into a wall, and to add sound and a background.

I rebuilt my road, and added in my old Nigh Sky to add a background.

I drew a white line in the middle of the road, and added a city background with a night starry sky. 

Once I animated the car to run into a wall, I made an 'explosion' 

and then I made the explosion expand 

Once that was all animated, I added a crashing noise. We had to add a new layer, and make it a keyframe. (The shortcut for a keyframe is F6! fyi  :) )  

When we previewed our animation, it kept repeating. So to make it only play once we added an Action Script.  This goes into a keyframe and the layer is named "Action". The code snip-it we used was "Stop();" 

FUN FACTS I LEARNT TODAY!

• Sound if flash can be an MP3, AIF (which is used in macs) and a WAV (used in pc's) 
• Flash convert all audio in MP3's 

Time for goodbye once again, and this time I promise you I wont be posting again in the next hour! because next week is uni and school holiday (wehooo!) so you can get a break from me for a week or two. Talk to you guys then! goodbye and thankyou!
