Project 3 – Eyes (Part 2)
Achieve the same effect in a much cleverer way
New Key Concept: Motion Clip Symbol
1. Removing frames
Note: This project uses the Eyes (Part 1) file, so open this first.
You are going to return the animation to the state it was before you animated the
circle symbol. Highlight all the frames of the ‘right eye’ layer, by dragging across
them, then right-click and select Remove Frames. Do the same for the ‘left eye’
layer.
2. Inserting a new Movie Clip symbol
Instead of using the ‘circle’ Graphic
symbol and animating it yourself, you
are going to create a Movie Clip
symbol which will animate the circle
for you.
Go to the Insert menu > New Symbol.
This time, select Movie Clip and call it
‘moving eyes’
Your scene will disappear and you will see the timeline of the Movie Clip ‘moving
eyes’. This is where you will create the ‘moving eyes’ animation. Click on the first
keyframe and then drag the ‘circle’ Graphic symbol from the library onto the
stage. Notice that the ‘moving eyes’ Movie Clip symbol is also now in the library.
Insert a keyframe into frame 10 and move the circle slightly to the right. Then
insert a keyframe in frame 20 and move it back again.
Note: You can line up objects exactly by going to View
menu > Rulers. Click on either the horizontal or
vertical rulers and drag a guide line onto the stage.
Use 2 guides to mark the position of the first circle.
Holding down shift and using the arrow keys will move an object
quickly in a straight line.
Create motion tween between the keyframes and then test the Movie Clip.
Return to Scene 1.
