4
Developing your work further
It is quite a task – but the aim is to try and
complete your whole poem in the same way
.
Be creative - try to come up with your own ideas. Play around with the Flash program to see what you can come up with yourself.
Experiment!
Turn
each
line
into a separate
MovieClip
, add
additional frame
, create the
Motion Tween
and
animate
the final frame.
However, if you’ve done all that you could then
add in images
to complement your animated text.
Go back to the start of your animation and
insert a ‘Layer’
Use the new layer to add in your own images. You could
draw
them using the
Flash tools
or use
images from other sources
.
Each time you reach a new line in your poem, just right-click and
insert a Blank Keyframe
to add new images.
