Remember that, as part of the design details, we have those two ladybugs. It’s time to make them move with Flash Motion Tweens.

In this tutorial, we will create two types of animation. One is a simple frame-based animation and the other uses the Transform Timeline Effect to morph text.

In this tutorial, we will build the design that we planned out in the previous tutorial onto the layers of the Flash Timeline. Then, we will work on the first of the animations for the advertising blinkie.

The owner of J3 Designs asked me to create an advertising blinkie for her digital scrapbooking website. She wanted to maintain the classic elegance of the company brand and gave me a set of graphics that she had already used for her logo. Where do we start?

I have several requests from readers for text effects. One easy way to create text effects is the built-in Flash Timeline Effects. Although this article is about text, these effects can be applied to other things on the stage such as shapes, graphics, grouped objects, bitmaps and more.

Flash animators are moving toward the use of more bitmap graphics in their projects. So how does the Flash designer decide what type of images to use in a project?
