Swim, Fly, or Drive


This assignment is as simple as making something swim, fly, or drive across the stage. Well actually, it's a bit more than that. You must create symbols that internally animate.They can be insects, animals, aliens, spacecrafts, vehicles, or anything similar, but it must move internally while motion tweening.
This assignment will be combined with the "Triple Layer Background" for a project grade. Open the below handout and read the 1st 4 paragraphs to understand the basic concept. After reading those parargraphs decide whether you want to create a butterfly or not. If so, continue using the handout to guide you. If you prefer to create another option then find an image from the Internet, copy or import it into Flash, convert image into a symbol, decrease the alpha (so you can see the pen paths easier), lock the layer, and vectorize each part on top of it. Don't forget that each part that will move should be on it's own layer.

Handout is available here.
