I have learned how to use the motion guide in flash to create the appearance of a bouncing ball. By altering the ease settings I was able to convey a realistic sense of gravity as the balls speed increased on the impact of the ground and bounced higher. I explored Transformation effects and manipulated several Jpeg images by rotating them and altering the colour of the images.
I found the Motion Guide a very useful technique as it adds a whole new level of flexibility to the program and customisation to your animation. The timeline effects were interesting but I think they are a bit gimmicky. I think the usefulness of this feature to me, will depend entirely on how creative I can be with it. However we have only tapped the basics so there’s probably a lot more you can do with the image transformation technique so I can’t wait to find out!
