Blog Entry #10 Flash Banner

            In computer class recently we have been working on an ad banner that you would commonly see pop up on any website you may visit. The ad is exactly like the ones you would see off to the side of the site. We created this ad banner to get more experience with computers and learn how to do other interesting things with a computer. Before this project I would have never known what Adobe Flash was. What it is, is a program that allows you to create little animations and create them however you would like.
            This is probably my favorite project we have done throughout the year. I learned so many new tools and actions from this program. For example, the align tool. What this tool allows you to do is place the photo directly in the center of the canvas perfectly. More tools I learned about were the following: importing to stage, modify, create classic tween, blur filters, key frame, converting to movie clip, changing background color, making new layer, and the transform tool. Now I'll explain what each of these tools are. Importaing to stage is when you save a picture from the internet and instead of copying and pasting it you import it to the stage for a better image. Modifying the image is changing the image size so it fits the canvas better. Creating a classic tween is allowing the picture to have motion in it. Blur filters add a blur to the picture, this is commonly used when you have a picture fade in and out. A key frame signifies that something is going to happen. Converting to movie clip allows the clip to react as a movie would, in motion. Changing background color allows you to make the canvas any color you would like. Making a new layer is when you make a new layer so you aren't overlapping steps with one another. Transform tool is when you transform the picture into any shape you would like.
          I am posting this on my blog because I want to share with you what I have accomplished in this project. I have worked very hard on this and I hope you enjoy it!
