Assignment 5 - Text Effects

Text Effects Scenes

Create a 4-7 scene movie using the lessons as the first few scenes and adding a few scenes based on your reading from a textbook or the lesson on text effects, text tweening, and shape hints.

To combine several previously created .fla movies into one movie with several scenes, be sure to use the Edit>Copy Frames and Edit>Paste Frames command rather than just the Edit>Copy and Edit>Paste command.  Select all the frames in the timeline for each movie to copy and select Edit>Copy Frames.

Add 12 frames at the end of each scene.  Insert a keyframe at the end of all frames on each scene so each scene displays for viewing for a couple of seconds before the playback head moves to the next scene.

You may attach your scenes.swf file to the Discussion area and reflect on the process.
