Project 6 – Fish

From one graphic symbol, a shoal of fish dart through the water

New Key Concept: Instances

1. Creating the fish graphic symbol

You could draw your basic fish shape using the pencil tool. If

so, make sure you choose the smooth option from the drop

down selection.

The alternative is to use the pen tool to draw a Bezier curve.

Select the pen tool and click on the stage, moving the mouse slightly in

the direction you want the curve to go. Then click where the curve will

finish and drag the tangent handles until the curve looks right:

When you let go, it will look like this:

Select the curved line, copy it and paste, so you have 2 identical lines. Then use

Modify menu > Transform > Flip Vertical to form the bottom half of the fish.

A straight line for the tail and added eye detail completes the fish, which can be

filled with a 3D effect fill:

Note: If the fill tool is not

working, it may be because there

are gaps in the drawing. Use the

Close Gaps options to fix this.

Now, convert this to a graphic symbol as before (Insert

menu)

2. Using the graphic symbol ‘fish’ in a movie clip

Open the Library from the Window menu and check that your graphic symbol is

there, then delete the fish from the stage. It is now going to become an animated

swimming fish!

Go to Insert menu > New Symbol, as you did in Project 3, and create a movie clip

symbol called ‘swim’. The timeline for the movie clip ‘swim’ opens up and you can

drag the graphic symbol ‘fish’ onto the stage.
