How you can mess up

• You can mess up by not saving your symbol as a button.
• When your fixing your symbol and you forget to go back to scene 1
• You have to click on the figure that you want to make a keyframe

Steps for some one who wasn't in class

• First we clicked the rectangle tool and made a rectangle on top of the word finish line then we changed the gradient to red.
• Then make sure to make the angles to 5.00
• Add in a layer and name it signal
• Then convert it into a symbol but make sure its a button, then go to the transform tool and then click on your rectangle and click on it and make the gradient smaller into a circle in the center.
• Then go to library and click on the signal symbol and then your going to insert a keyframe and change the color to the gradient grey and then your going to add in another keyframe and change the color to gradient green then on the last frame your going to put a box over your light that way they can know where to click.
• Then your going to make a new layer and name it stop. Your going to go back to scene1 on the top left corner and go to window then actions then to global and then on timeline and click on stop movie then on the beginning of frame1 go to window then actions then global then timeline control and click stop then test your movie, your movie should stop then go to frame 65 and it should stop.
• Go to the layer  named signal then select the rectangle make sure your in scene and in the first layer. Then go to window, actions, global, timeline, and click start that way it will start when your mouse is on the signal light.
• Finally go to the layer named reset and select your reset button and go to window then global functions and then timeline and click on go
• You are done with your movie.

Steps to bug

first I made a circle which is the head of the bug and then save it as a symbol. Ex. mc_bug

• Second step: Is to go where your bug is and click on the icon and it will let you edit your bug therefore you can edit it.
• Then make a new layer and label it "body" then you are going to design your bugs body.
• Then add another layer or two more layers and label one of them left wing and the other right wing
•  Go to the paint and put the alpha to 40 then on the layer labeled "left wing" your design the left wing of your bug and then copy the wing and paste it in the layer that says "right wing" so both your wings will be the same size.
• Your going to go to frame 2 and insert a blank key frame in layers one through four and in the second frame your gong to spread out the wings so that it looks like the bug is flying.
•  Go and test your movie
• Finally go back to scene 1 and select your bug and insert a motion tween then drag your bug to where you want it to end up, make sure your in the last frame though. You test your movie and your bug should be moving to the points where you put it. 

Steps on how to make wheels spin

-I selected the inside of the tire and clicked shift then the mouse.
-Then we dragged what we selected to the side and converted it into a movie clip symbol
-Then we clicked certain parts from the tire and clicked on the paint and selected a color i wanted then with                   the other parts of the tire that weren't selected you painted it black.
-When you are done you go and insert a motion tween.
-You go to properties and where it says rotation you click 4.
-Your tire should spin clockwise.
-Then you go back to the red car and drag the symbol and place it in the wheel
-You do the same to the back tire.
-Then you insert another motion tween and drag the green dot that was on the car to the other side of the                         screen.
-Then you go and test your movie and your car should move forward and the tires should spin clockwise as if the car is moving forward.

All the class movies! and MY opinions

-Butterflies with pink flowers, they did a good job but I think more could of been done a little bit more with the butterflies.

-Hobo one, we were working on fireworks to delete the background, the animation is well done but I don't get the point or what is he trying to say in his/her movie. You could edit your pictures and do your movie in a more sequence order.

-Futbol, I really don't like this animation, I just see a purple ball moving you can't even tell if that's a foot kicking it. They should of made the foot move. They needed another figure in there.

-Elaine, You focused to much on your name, instead of an actual animation. You need to add more to it its very boring and to fast.

-The red thingy, you seem to like video games? well your animations was cool not my type though, but good try.

-Leap frog, I really like you movie animation yours has been the best so far. You used a lot of movement and I understand the message of your movie.!(:

-Chinese figures, this movie animation actually felt like a cartoon movie. You were organized and the sequence of you movie is understandable.

-Mario and karate kid- you need to go back and mess around more with you animation you just make them like switch and boring! good try though.

-Star and heart, Yours is cool because you can't really do a lot with a star and heart it can't tell a storyy but it looks like a post it haaa!!!!!!!!!(:

-Football touch down, i like your animation movie but I think the ball looks toooo big you should of made it even more smaller at the end. but its cool(:

-Grr, I lovee your movie animation its the BESTESt(:

-Shaggy and tommy. i like your animation but its toooo short you need to work a little more on it.

-yellow crown shaped thingy_ yours is boring and to fast the only thing that stands out is the yellow thing. your animation don't look like anything its not telling a story.

-Dragon with fire- its boring the fire is to fake. you need more work.

-Devil with chicken- yours is different. I dont like it.
