Flash Walk Cycle Animation

For the past three weeks we have been learning how to demonstrate the skills to animate a simple walk cycle using keyframes and motion tween on the timeline. For this project we had to use the adobe Flash motion program, doing so i learned a lot of useful, and helpful tools. There were about 30 steps involved in the process of making this animation, but today I will be demonstrating how to export a file to your desktop.

Learning how to export a file is fairly simple. Say you're done with project this would be the last step you would do. At the top of your screen there is  a couple of options you could choose from, but were going to be looking for the the option 'File' after choosing file its gonna open up a panel of a whole bunch of other options you're just gonna go down the line and look for 'Export'. After you click on export its gonna say do you want to export a movie export a picture or export a selection. We're gonna want a movie so our design will move, after doing so its gonna  bring up a window that'll say Save as, tags, where, and format. Then you'll save it as Walk.gif, under tags it will be left empty, under the where box you'll select desktop and for form your gonna choose animated gif. And thats how you export a file!

I'm really excited to have completed this project, because there were a lot of steps involved and I'm very happy that I stuck with it so that I can present it in my portfolio. Besides learning how to animate in Flash, i also now understand the physics and mechanics of the motion involved in a walk cycle.
