This project was a bit of a challenge for me. Especially when it came to the pen tool, I think I've mentioned I hate the pen tool. (it's the white swirl thing on the left side of the picture). I had some issues with Flash the past week. For some reason when I finished it and tried to upload it it would upload only a blank screen. It was so weird and after messing with it and messing with it I ended up just making it all over again. By that point I decided to go for something really easy and fun.
I decided to go for a really simple story-board as opposed to something more complex that I would have to reproduce, so I just did it showing the major movements of the two balls.
I imported the cloud from my project 3, and changed the blur and transparency to make it different. The moon I made by adjusting a circle. The hills of snow were two half-circles, and the fun swirl to the side was made with the pen tool and Bezier curves, I combined them into a symbol in case I wanted to use them in a future project. I made the blue and red balls out of just the shape tool and converted them into symbols to use in the project.
I put the background on it's own layer which contains all of the non-animating elements. The cloud is on it's own layer, and both of the balls each have their own layer.
I used the cloud as my frame-by-frame animation, which I think turned out okay. Frame-by-Frame is not my favorite, I prefer the Classic Tween. I used the motion tween for the blue ball, and the classic tween for the red ball.
