Assignment 11 - Flash Sounds

Combining Lessons 10 and 11

For this assignment, you will use the Onion Skin Frame-by-Frame animation you created in Lesson 10 and combine it with a sound toggle button from Lesson 11. You should already have your Onion Skin dancer from Lesson 10. Now create and combine the files from Lessons 10 and 11 which include a movie clip symbol of onion skinning frame by frame animation and a functional sound toggle button with sound. Remember, you want to play and mute the sound using ONE BUTTON (toggle). In other words, do not have one button to play the sound and one button to mute the sound. Use one button as illustrated in my sample sound toggle button.

Insert your frame by frame animation from Lesson 10 into a movie clip symbol. You can use the Edit Menu - Edit>Cut Frames to cut your selected frames. You can select all frames by clicking Edit Multiple Frames button and going to Select All or Control + A. Then create a new onion skin movie clip and in layer 1, frame 1 Edit>Paste Frames. Cut, copy and paste frames are different commands than just cut, copy, and paste.

Download both SOUND TOGGLE .fla files from the lesson, analyze the code and use one of these toggle structures for the sound in your final project.
