Flying Text Tutorial
Any animation that is meaning to convey a message usually requires the animation of text. In this project, we will learn how to easily animate the letters in your name.
First, create a new Actionscript 3.0 File in Animate. Use the text tool to type out your word. It must be a minimum of 5 letters! Right click your name and break the letters apart, then distribute them to layers. Click the first frame on each letter layer and convert each one to a symbol. Remember to change the type to "Graphic" for this animation. Create new keyframes at 5 frame increments and move all of the letters around on the stage. Move them anywhere you'd like at each keyframe and rotate them around for interest. Once you have reached 30 frames total for each letter, create a classic tween for each movement. You may also take the extra step and add an underline or animate your last name as well. Use the tutorial below with step by step instructions on how to complete this project successfully. Also located in the folder is an example of what a finished product might look like. Once you have finished this project Save your project as an animated GIF and place on your Google Site's Animation Page |

Frame-based animation
The previous projects we use computer generated formulas to define the movement (called tweens). In this project, we will learn frame-based animation techniques of Adobe Animate. It can be a little bit more time consuming, but it is easier to create exactly the type of movement your envisioned.
This project will teach you how to utilize the onion skin feature It is useful to create smooth, consistent movement with the frame-based technique. You will also learn how to create separate scenes within one animation project. Use the provided files and video or written tutorials to learn how to create this project. When you have completely finished save your project as an animated GIF and place on your Google Site's Animation Page

An anchor points is the point at which an object rotates. Understanding anchor points is an important part of animation.
