Flash Animation Tutorial: Creating Objects

Video Transcript

"So, one thing I've noticed, is that I forgot to name this bottom layer circle, so we'll do that, and then one of the tough things, about working with flash objects that you've drawn, is that you've got this fill. You've got this stroke. You've got all this stroke. If you move it around by accident, things can get confusing, so what you want to do, is you always want to make sure that you group your objects, so select, and hit Apple, or Control-G, and that will group your object, so that no matter whether you click and drag on the stroke or the fill, it all acts as one object. Another way you can do it, is to double click, and then let's see. Where is Group? Modify, Group, there we go. The quick shortcut is Apple G or Control-G, but just so you know, it's under Modify Group, and it had been so long since I've been here, that I couldn't remember where it was. That shows you how often I use that. I just normally go Apple G, so that does the same thing, so now we've grouped our objects on different layers, and we're ready to animate them."
