Assignment:
01) Choose Window > Common Libraries > Graphics. Select the image you want to use, or import a custom image file.

02) Convert the image into a symbol

03) Set a custom background color

04) Go to Frame 40 in the Timeline. Do this by clicking the gray field below 40. Then right click in this field. Choose Insert Keyframe. Keyframes appear as circles in a frame. This operation duplicates the image.

05) Click on the Timeline any place between Frame 1 and Frame 40. Then right click and choose Create Motion Tween.

06) Click on the image and drag it outside the left edge of the Stage.

07) Create a new layer

08) Now we are going to add a second image, but this image is going to follow a motion guide

09) Add a new Layer and name it motion guide layer.

10) import a scond image into the new layer.

11) Choose Add Motion Guide in the pop-up menu. The Flash program will now insert a motion guide layer on top the new layer. Motion guide layers are used to draw lines an animated symbol should follow.

12) Click on the Motion Guide Layer to make sure it is the active layer.

13) Click on the Pencil tool in the left toolbox. Set the Pencil Mode to Smooth (in the Options section of the left toolbox).

14) Draw a line. Begin on the image and draw a line to the other side of the Stage, follow any path you wish.

15) Go to Frame 40. Place the image with its center on the end of the motion guide.

16) Choose File > Import to import a sound file. Locate the sound file and click Open. The sound file will be saved in the Library.

17) Click the Library and drag the sound file onto the stage, this should add the sound to the new layer

18) Choose Control > Test Movie from the top menu to test your Flash movie.

Yes, fantastic, you pass lesson 1.

I am actually learning this while writing the lessons, and designing the assignments at the exact same time you are taking the class, so...

I will post a video of my first submission and finish writing the lesson 2 assignment asap.

It has been a few years since I learned flash; but I am a computer scientist...so leaning / teaching this should be a sinch.

Here is my own version of the completed assignment: https://www.imvumafias.org/community/viewtop ... =43&t=1053

I will be writing a guide on how to publish and submit assignments.
Edit: https://www.imvumafias.org/community/viewtop ... =43&t=1054

I have also slightly changed the assignments instructions, so as to make them easier to understand.
