Flash Animation Tutorial: Shifting Key Frames

Video Transcript

"OK, so we've got this animation set up. That's kind of like a ball knocking about the place. What if we wanted to stretch this out. Right now we only have ten seconds and so if you go, let me think if I can remember where this is. Window, that's the controller. Maybe it's under view, View. Tool bar, Controller. Then that gives me kind of like a VCR control and you can see how quickly this animation would, would play. So very, very quick animation. So what if I wanted that to happen over a two or three seconds rather than just a half a second, which is essentially what this is. Well, I can grab this key frame and I can simply move it out to wherever I want it to be. So now, look what happens to get that controller back. So it starts out really fast and then slows down. That's not what I want either. I want it to kind of equal over time, so I'm going to spread my key frames out fairly evenly. Maybe bring this one back a little, rewind it and then now I can see my animation."
