Adobe Flash Week 6, Assignment #6 - Car Driving

Our short animations are getting more and more complex!!  Fun right!  This week you had the opportunity to explore more tools that allowed you to create a car that drives.  Of course, within that animation you should have also demonstrated some of the many tools we have been working on throughout the semester including motion tweens, panning and zooming, working within symbols, your drawing skills, etc.  That said, the goal of your blogs is not for me to rehash the skills you are learning but for you to discuss them.  As usual, please respond to the following questions:

• Describe the assignment you just completed? What was the task and what needed to be done in order for you to successfully complete the assignment?
• What new skills did you learn from completing this assignment? Be specific and use correct names for the different tools you needed to use to complete the assignment. ie Classic Motion Guide, Keyframes, symbols, panning, etc.  Reread the assignment description or watch the tutorial to remind yourself.  Don't forget to discuss what a shape tween does and any other unique tools you used to create your final product.
• Was the assignment easy to complete? Did you have any trouble? What did you have trouble with and how did you resolve the issue? What was the most fun aspect of the project and the most challenging?  
• Besides making the sky change color using the newly learned shape tween, what other types of animations could you make successfully now using similar tools to the ones used in this project?

As we finish this week, it is important to remember we have 2 weeks left in the quarter.  You must stay on top of your work and make sure that all Flash assignments - yes, I am talking about the ones you may have missed along the way, are submitted by March 24th. For your blog - please be sure to write well written thorough responses that you would be proud to share your friends, family and, of course, ME :)
