Flash Animation Tutorial



Adobe Flash is an animating software similiar to Macromedia Flash, nowadays many more websites have used Flash to add animation and interactivity, a good example would be the Disney Pixar trailers, such as Bolt. Nowadays, Flash is not only used to add animation and interactivity to websites but its also used to create animation, advertisements, etc.

In this tutorial we were to write some scripting to make the ball bounce, since I had already used Flash before in a previous group project back in 2nd year I didn't find it too hard to do - though I did forget some scripting but with the help of the tutorial which was provided I started to remember what the different scripts meant/did.

I found this tutorial pretty easy and simple to do - since I have a fair knowledge of this software already and had already created a detective game all in Flash with the help of other 3 members, I feel there is still much to learn and more scripting out there that I haven't discovered/experimented with.

What I find good about this software is that you don't entirely have to use scripting in order to animate objects, and it's a bit difficult and confusing piece of software when you've never used it before but after a while you just get used to it and end up knowing what you're doing - also helps immensely with all the tutorials which are available in books, internet, etc.
