Macromedia MAX 2005 - Anaheim, CA What’s New In Flash 8
97
Figure 6. Modify the scale of the symbol in frame one
9. Test you movie by selecting the Control menu (Control > Test Movie). You will notice that in
Flash 8 that now when you test your .swf file – a Flash Player window will appear. This will
give you a better representation of your final output.
10. Close the test movie by clicking the close window button. Well, I have to admit that this
animation is really nothing to write home about. That is all going to change when we add a
“bounce” effect to our animation.
Using Custom Ease In / Ease Out
Finally, we are going to modify our existing animation by giving it a “bounce” effect with the new
Ease In / Ease Out controls. This is another great new feature in Flash 8 that will add sophistication
to your animation without the use of additional keyframes.
11. With your Selection tool (V) choose Frame 1 from the Flash Text layer.
12. In the Property Inspector click on the Edit button next to the Ease drop down menu.
13. The Custom Ease In / Ease Out dialog box appears. (See Figure 7.)
