movie
I had a hard time figuring out what types of objects I was supposed to use for this. We went through it really fast in class, and I only halfway understood it. I tried looking up tutorials online, to get more of a simplified look at it. They all told me to make movie clips. I would try this but coundn't get any more then one bone to move. I finally got out my book called "How to Cheat in Flash" by Chris Georgenes. He explains things in a really simplified way. I modeled my dino after his in the book. I will start my description where my project started getting somewhere.
1. I made my dino body with the circle shape, and pen tool. I then converted it into a movie clip symbol.
2. I created one leg with the square tool and the pen tool. ooh, I also used the paintbrush on the "paint fill" option to color in the toes and scales. I converted it into a movie clip.
3. Then I cleared the stage and brought on my body and two instances of the leg approximately where I wanted them to be I carefully, hopefully drew the first bone from the body to the right leg. IT WORKED! So I drew another. Starting at the Mother bone down to the right leg. It worked too. I went ahead and drew a circle symbol and place one byond each leg. In doing this, I could have better control. I extended the armature layer and placed my poses.
4. I searched and found the jungle background. I imported it and traced it.
5. Finally I added a dino sound I found online. here . You have to register with the site, but the sound came out really cute. It is just what I wanted.
The tutorials did not help me as much this time.

I like the dino, very animation looking! The sounds are funny.
