Assignment: Students will create an original animation,
using many of the skills learned. This animation or movie may be used in the final project, so think about what
topic you would like to develop and really upload to the WWW.
The grading rubric is based on the following items:
 | Use tools to create at least 5 symbols for use in this movie (accidental symbols by motion tweens don't count). |
| Create at least 5 layers in main scene, of which only 1 layer is used for background. |
| Must use a motion guide and motion tween to move something appropriately |
| Must use drawing tools to create some original graphics |
| There must be interactivity such as buttons that link or mouse-overs which start some animation, or switch scenes. |
| Must use more than one scene. |
| Use at least one motion tween that is not using a guide |
| Use at least one shape tween (useful to change color or shape) |
| Use at least 4 different actions—could be stop, onRelease-Play (or other event to start playing), getURL (a hyperlink), or goto & play. |
| May use imported Clipart if you trace bitmap & change color or graphic (may edit in Photoshop if needed) |
| Must have smooth, logical movement |
| Needs a background scene, which you should try to draw |
| It must be unique, show time and effort. |
| Export movie as .SWF |
Examples:
(1) Your original Flash creation could be used as a splash page, which a visitor comes to first when they arrive at your site. If so, I suggest you give them a choice of watching the flash animation or entering the site before waiting for all of it to download.
(2) You could create a cartoon or interactive movie on your topic or tell a story.
(3) You could use Flash to do your entire site, and your original flash could be some scenes you could include in this.
