FLASH
Macromedia Flash is a professional standard tool used to produce high-impact web
pages and web sites that includes a good amount of animation, sound, graphics
and interactivity. The extension of a Flash file is .fla
To open the flash window, perform the following steps:
1. Click the start menu.
2. Go to Programs.
3. Click at Macromedia Flash.
4. Click Flash.
The following screen appears:

m
co
y.
The white rectangular area within the window is called the Stage or Workspace.
da
Any graphics placed in this area will be visible to the user. On the left side of the
window appears the toolbox that contains all the drawing tools in Flash.
to

As the Flash window is opened, an unsaved document appears called as Movie 1.

es

A Flash movie is further divided into number of Scenes.

di

A Scene can be considered as a chapter in a book. The advantage of breaking a

tu

movie into scenes is, every scene can be accessed individually and thus the
.s

sequence or order of the scenes can be changed. The default name of the first
w

scene of the movie is Scene 1.

w

Every scene can be further divided into Layers, which can be considered as a topic
w

in a chapter. Images or text can be stored in the form of layers so that the
animations can be controlled independently.

Every image in the Layer is called a Frame. The frames are the little rectangular
cells, which are numbered. The contents of only one frame can be seen at a time.
The red marker on the frame indicates the frame that is currently viewed.

LAYERS AND FRAMES

There are three types of layers in flash:
 Normal layer
 Guide / Guided layer
 Mask / Masked layer
Normal Layer: It’s the default layer this layer guides the path to the other layers.
The layer is made the guide layer by selecting the layer properties (Modify <
Timeline< Layer properties) and choosing the Layer type option as guide.
Guide / Guided layer
The layer that will follow the path provided by the guide layer will be called as

m
Guided layer.
Note that the Guided layer do not appear in the Flash Movie.

co
Mask and Masked Layer: This layer lets you place any shape or symbol that will
y.
define the visible or non-visible portion of the layer below it. The graphical contents
da
of the mask layer will determine which portion of the layer below it will show
through. A layer is selected as a mask layer by going to the layer properties and
to

selection mask option. The layer below the mask layer is the masked layer.
es

For example, if you draw a filled circle in the mask layer and a number of colorful
di

boxes in the masked layer, then the content of the masked layer will be shown
through the circle made in the mask layer, of course, depending upon the path the
tu

mask layer will follow.

Note: To select more than one frame, just click at the starting frame and drag
till the end frame and you can perform the option like Delete frames for
all the frames selected. Thus, all the frames selected will be deleted at
once.
Keyframe and Blank Keyframe
A Keyframe is simply a frame in which the user can indicate the change at a
particular point. That is, a keyframe indicates either the change in the image
appearance or its position on the screen, so through a keyframe, you can indicate
what should appear on the screen at a particular point. A keyframe might include
an image or it might be blank. A Blank Keyframe is also a keyframe, but it's the one
in which nothing appears on the screen.
To insert a Keyframe/ Blank Keyframe: -
 Choose a frame by clicking it, go to the Insert menu on the Menu bar and

m
co
timeline choose the option Keyframe. If no image is present in the layer, then
a blank keyframe is inserted.
y.
 Choose the frame, click the right mouse button and select the option Insert
OR
da
keyframe. To insert a Blank Keyframe select the option Insert Blank keyframe
to

by clicking the right mouse button.

es

A keyframe when created will be indicated by either a white square or a solid

di

circle. The contents for the keyframe are copied from the previous keyframe and
tu

if there is nothing on the previous keyframe, then a blank keyframe is inserted.

.s

Thus, if an image or an object is present in the previous keyframe, then that

w

image or object will be copied to the new keyframe. If you click at any frame
within the two keyframes, then the contents of the previous keyframe will be
w

seen.
w

To Delete a Keyframe/ Blank Keyframe:

 Put the red marker on any of the created frame number, go to the Insert
menu on the Menu bar and select delete frame.

 Right Click the mouse button on any create frame number and select the
OR

option Delete frame.

Concept of a Symbol
Flash provides the facility to store the objects (i.e. images and text) in a place called
#9#

 Downloaded from www.studiestoday.com
DELHI PUBLIC SCHOOL Assignment Booklet
Indirapuram, Ghaziabad (Class - IX : Information Technology)

Library. Everytime a symbol is selected from the library to be used in the movie, its
copy is used and this copy of the symbol is called as the Instance.
MOTION, SHAPE TWEENING
Flash provides you the facility to show the transition of the image from one
keyframe to another keyframe. This transition is called as Tweening.

Through tweening, the user can not only see the transition from one image to
another in terms of its shape but also in terms of its motion. For example, through
tweening you can show a ball bouncing or moving vertically or horizontally or
showing the change in the color of the text slowly, etc.

Flash has two types of tweening:

m
co
1. Motion Tweening
2. Shape Tweening
y.
Motion Tweening: It is used to tween the text/image in terms of its:
da
Position (i.e. to show the object moving from one place to another),
to

Scale (i.e. to show the change in the size of the object),

es

Rotation (i.e. to show the change in the angle of the object),

di

Color (i.e. to show the change in the color of the text/image in terms of making the
tu

object light/bright, etc.)

.s

Motion Tween works only on symbols and will not work oh layers, which contain
w

more than one symbol. Shape modification is not allowed in motion tweening.
w
w

Shape Tweening: Shape Tweening is used when the change in the shape of the
object is required to be shown. For example, shape tweening can be used to show
the conversion of a circle to a semicircle. Shape Tweening doesn't work on
symbols.
