Flash MX 2004 presents with themost handy and intuitiveenvironment or working interface. It

makes easier to assuming Flash,and speed its management andcontrol.

Before ,we begin to create animationsin flash, we need to becomefamiliar with the document windowthat shows the following elements:Timeline ,stage, information bar,tool bar and panels.

StageThe Stage is the rectangular areawhere you place graphic contentwhen creating Flash Professional

documents. The Stage in the

authoring environment representsthe rectangular space in Flash

Player or in a web browser windowwhere your document appears during

playback. To change the view of theStage as you work, zoom in and out.To help you position items on the Stage,you can use the grid, guides, and rulers .

Timeline The timeline is an important part

of the program, and can be usedto animate either by hand and/orwith Action Script .The timeline represents all frames of an animation; more frames means a longer animation, lessframes means a shorter animation.

A timeline repeats itself bydefault; as soon as the last frame is shown, the animation jumps backto its first frame and beginsagain.

Frame Key frame

Frame view is adrop down menuthat controls the

appearance ofthe timeline. Theyare limited by verticle linres

(forming rectangle). While

the numbers of framesallows us to know theassigned number of eachframe , its duration, andwhen it will appear in themovie.

A keyframe is aspecial type offrame, indicated

on the timeline,where you definechanges in animation.When you create frame-

by-frame animation,every frame is aKeyframe.
