Opening a New Movie File in Flash
Creating Your First Flash Animation
In this lesson we’ll cover how to create a new blank movie file, and the tools and steps involved in making your first simple animation using motion tweening.
To start with, you’ll open Flash by clicking on the program icon in the directory that you’ve installed it in. If this is your first time loading the program, it’ll ask you to choose either Designer or Developer view, and a resolution that matches your monitor settings (this isn’t applicable to versions of Flash prior to MX). For our purposes in this tutorial I’ve chosen Designer view, and my screen is set to a resolution of 1024×768. (You can always change this later by clicking the “Window” option in the top toolbar and then selecting “Panel Sets”.) Once you’ve finished that, you’ll see a blank canvas surrounded by tool sets, like the window above.
The canvas is set to a default size; because I prefer to work at standard sizes and aspect ratios for web production, I’m going to change my canvas size from the default of 550 pixels wide x 400 pixels high to a smaller size of 320 x 240. I’m going to do this by clicking the button on the Properties tab–the panel just below the canvas and working area–that displays the canvas size; this will open a new pop-up window containing the document’s properties. For right now you only need to worry about three things: the document size, the background color, and the frame rate. （阅读全文……）
