Flash Review - our next project is in Flash;

• pick the right assignment based on your flash ability: if you fail to do this, then you'll get to work out of a book next week
• make sure you practice with Flash 8!
  

• Experienced Flash Users (folks who've worked with flash) -
  
• review the movie about timelines, frames and keyframes
• review the movie about frame-by-frame animation
• create a short frame-by-frame animation with a flash-drawn character
• watch the short movie about creating symbols
• note: practice in flash as you watch, so you don't fall asleep!
• learn about movie clips - our next project will use movie clips, so master how to do a movie clip from this video (Movie Clips in Flash )

• New Flash Users (folks who've never worked with flash) -
  
• get a CD from the teacher (on my desk) title: Flash interactive Tutorial; return CD at end
  
• insert this into the machine (if you need help, ask the teacher), click on CSI on your desktop, then watch the tutorial
• you need to practice as you watch! ask an experienced flash user if you can't open flash
• your goal is to get familiar with Flash! you should be able to draw and animate by end of the day
