1) |
Create a "Symbol"
using the "Insert", "Convert to Symbol"
method. If you don't know how to do that click
here. |
2) |
Think about how you want
your "Symbol" to move. How long do you want
it to be in motion for? Where do you want it to go? For
now we are going to make a symbol move from left to right
in a straight line.
The first frame of your time line is where you "Symbol"
is right now. If you click that "Symbol" and
move it to the left side of your stage you will have set
the start point of your "Symbol." |
3) |
Select Frame 30 on your
time line in the same layer your "Symbol" is
on. |
4)
|
Go to "Insert",
"Keyframe."
After you have done that a filled dot will be in frame
30. |
5) |
Select the filled dot in
frame 30 |
6) |
Select the "Symbol"
on the stage and move it to the far right side of the
stage. |
7) |
Select Frame 1 to see if
your "Symbol" is still sitting on the left side
of the screen. If it is then continue. If not repeat step
6. |
8) |
Click on any Frame in between
1 and 30. This will highlight all or just one Frame. |
9) |
Go to "Insert",
"Create Motion Tween." You will notice that
all of the Frames between 1 and 30 have turned purple
and there is a black arrow pointing to the right. If you
have a purple section and a dashed black line then Flash
is not recognizing frame 30 as having the same "Symbol"
as Frame 1. |
10) |
Hit "Enter" on
your keyboard to test the move. It will stop at the end
of the animation so you will have to hit "Enter"
again to start it over. |
