The Robot Demo

When Using Flash Player, you can Import Images you have downloaded, by using file and then going to import, and placing it within the stage.

After doing this, if you Press F8 and then rename the image and save it as a Movie file. you can then go to the top right hand corner, and click library, and from there you can drag and place unlimited amounts of the image that you created.

From there we Double clicked the robot to go into the library editor. we then used the line tool to draw around the robots head and then we eyedropped the colour inside the selected area and used the paintbucket to fill in the head, we then used the colour palet in the top right and selected the gradient editor from the drop down menu and changed the gradient. Results Below.

We have now been instructed to repeat the above process to turn the rest of or some of the robot into a more cartoonish appearance.

After we Filled in enough to make a cartoon robot, we unlocked the other layer and deleted it, from there we moved the robot in two places and created a Motion Tween we did this by slelecting the 30th movie slot and created a new frame by pressing F6, from there we right clicked the middle and clicked motion tween. 

We then wanted to try and animate the legs, to do this we decided to highlight the legs and and highlighting all the tight points by pressing and holding shift, we then pressed F8 and titled it legs, we then double clicked it to go into the movie file edit mode.

Using these Abilities, we Used the free transform mode and the library mode to rotate the legs seperately from the body so the body would move with the legs, we had to create 2 seperate layers for 2 different pairs of 2D legs to move correctly, we then used the Motion Tweens placing 15 frames per movement to make it all move correctly.
