Flash Practice 5—Bouncing Ball

Ms. Rocío Acevedo

Computer Applications II

Introduction: 

         You have done motion and shape tweens.  Now you will combine them to create a bouncing ball with a text on it.

 

 

Task: 

         Create an animation of a title text that grows and a ball that bounces over a line.

 

 

Process: 

 

              1. Create a new Flash document with a colored background.

 

        2. Rename the existing layer as Title and add two more layers: ball and line.

 

  3. On frame 1 inside the title layer, create this title: “Bouncing Ball”.  Inside the ball layer create a ball and inside the line layer add a line (not thin). You don’t need symbols.

 

        4. Add Keyframes on frames 30, 60 and 70 on the three layers.

 

        5. Frame 1 should be as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

        6. Frame 30 should be as follows (text is bigger, the ball is down and the line is now a curve):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

        7. Frame 60 should be as follows (text bigger, ball on the air, line straight):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

        8. Frame 70 should be as follows (text bigger, ball over the line again):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Test your animation, save and publish your file as ball_INITIALS.

10. Open your movie in the browser.

11. Check the example animation.
