2. Insert the CD-ROM into its drive. 3. If you wish to view the finished Flash document you will be making, load in the Flash file .fla
file “posdfa_ASM” from your CD-ROM. If you wish to view the finished Flash document of this animation that is on my web site, load in the Flash file .fla file “dfluaby_gk.”
A. Moving the Animation Title Text On to the Stage
Having text move onto the stage from the left or right is very simple. 1. Change the name of layer 1 to “frame” if you wish to place a border around your animation. To
change the name, double-click on the layer you want to rename, type in the new name, and hit enter; see p. 2.
2. Add a new layer by left-clicking on the left-hand “+” icon sheet with curled edge below the layer
column see p. 2 3. Change the name of layer 2 to “text 1”. See p. 2.
4. To add a border around your animation, import frame from the CD-ROM into your library. See p.2.
5. Click on frame 1 of the frame layer. Click on the select arrow and drag the frame to the stage to form a box around the stage.
6. Now click on frame 1 of the “text 1” layer. Click on the text tool “A”, click on the stage, and type Direct Fluorescent Antibody Test.” You can use the Properties Box to change font type, font
size, font color, etc. Position the text where you want it to end up on the stage. In the “Properties” box, choose Static Text.
7. Use the keyboard command F8 to convert text to a symbol and place it in your library see p. 3. 8. Click frame 36 of the timeline default speed is 12 frames a second so this will represent 3
seconds and convert it to a keyframe using the keyboard command “F6” – or by clicking “Insert”, “Timeline”, and “Keyframe” – or right-clicking on frame 36 and selecting “Insert Keyframe.” See
p. 3. 9. Click on frame 1 of the timeline for the “text 1” layer. Hold down the “shift key” and drag the text to
the right just off the stage into the gray area. 10. Click on any frame between frame 1 and frame 36 of the “text 1” layer, go down to the properties
box and select “Motion” from the drop-down menu next to Tween. 11. Hit “Enter” “Return” on MAC to play the animation.
