Lab 21 Reflection Journal

      In this lab. I made movie clips symbols using my lab 19. First I imported an external library which was my lab 19 flash file and opened it. Then I dragged the symbols and I selected the whole image and right clicked on it and clicked convert to symbol and made sure the type was movie clip. After I converted all the objects into movie clips and named it using camel case then I selected the whole stage and right clicked on it and clicked distribute to layers. Then I selected all frame 30s and clicked insert keyframe. Then I inserted a motion tween and I inserted more keyframes like position or rotation. Then when I finished I clicked command enter and adjusted the stage to accordingly. I also used the subselection tool to move the anchor points for the motion tween on the bird. Then when I finished everything I published the swf file and then I opened up my base html document for lab 21 and then I inserted it in and after writing the brief explanation of this lab, I uploaded it onto the server. This lab was a bit hard because I had to adjust a few things to make it all fit in together, like I had to change the size of the birdhouse so it wouldn't interfere with the flying bird. Also I had to match the timing for the snake and the tree and also try to adjust the clouds to make their animation look a bit the same. I liked how it overall came out nicely and worked.
