Foundation Flash CS5 For Designers- P10: Flash is one of the most engaging, innovative, and versatile technologies available-allowing the creation of anything from animated banners and simple cartoons to Rich Internet Applications, interactive videos, and dynamic user interfaces for web sites, kiosks, devices, or DVDs. The possibilities are endless, and now it just got better | ANIMATION PART 2 Clearly the existing animation tool set the Timeline panel and its trusty sidekicks the Free Transform tool the Transform panel and a handful of others is perfectly adequate to get the job done. But just as it can be good in a relationship to agree on acceptable word pronunciations toe-may-toe and toe-mah-toe come to mind it will be good for your relationship with Flash to consider other ways to animate content. You re about to start flirting with the Motion Editor panel. Figure 8-1. A scene from Joe Cartoon s infamous Frog in a Blender from 2000 which was among the first Flash animations to go viral. Introduced in Flash CS4 the Motion Editor panel provides a second non-ActionScript paradigm for moving things from here to there. It s an alternate mechanism to the classic tweens and shape tweens that are carried out in the Timeline panel. In Chapter 1 we gave you a drive-by Motion Editor overview and you ve seen glimpses of it in a handful of other chapters. Now that you have read Chapter 7 and have experimented with the various details and nuances of the traditional tweening model the differences between the old and the new will become abundantly clear. We suspect there will be a surge of interest in the new-style motion tweens and there s good reason for that as you ll see. People will begin to ask Which approach is better We ll be compelled to reply with the only legitimate answer there is the best approach depends entirely on whatever works best for the project at hand. Think of it like this you ve been using a conventional oven for years when suddenly a newfangled microwave shows up on your doorstep. It s small and sleek and even has a rotating platter. Grinning you carry it into the kitchen plug it in and slide in some of the goulash leftovers from last night. Two minutes and 20 seconds later ding you have an instant lunch. Let s try that again you think and put in a glass of milk with Hershey s syrup 45 seconds later instant hot chocolate. .
