Today in class we learned about the wonderful world of Flash!
- used for animation
- used for encoding video files
- .FLA = flash project file, set of instructions
- .FLV = flash video project video, videos can be viewed
- .SWF = Shockwaveflash
Actionscript
- Actionscript is the programming language embedded into flash.
- very simple
Frame rate is how many frames you see in a second. 25 frames per second = movies in theatre
Youtube videos and other web based flash runs about 12 frames per second.
Keyframe is a frame where something happens in an animation
Tween stands for in between
The more frames in an animation, the slower the animation goes.
Mr. case also taught us how to "play" pool. Basically, he created an animation based on physics and showed us tweens, keyframe, etcetc.
