- Draw a shape with the pencil tool. Ellipse-like shapes will be turned into true ellipses
- Manipulate lines with the arrow tool.
- Tap the 'a' toolbar button to toggle animation mode. When you manipulate a shape in animation mode it will make a keyframe rather than change the shape itself
- Tap+hold on a shape to do more stuff
- "Properties" is the most entertaining place to go on the tap+hold menu
- You can set all of the properties of the shape and change controllers
- Controllers let you animate the shape
- You can use keyframes ("Key Controller") and the software will generate in-between frames
- Or, you can have the position follow a path
- Use your d-pad to manipulate the view: left or right changes frame, up or down zooms
- Most importantly, tap Tools:Export to SWF to save the file and an accompanying HTML file
- It doesn't save to anything but Flash and it doesn't open anything, so make sure your animation is perfect before you reset or hit "New"
- If you have the Flash plugin installed, just go to the file browser and tap on the Animation[#].html file
Notes / Known Bugs:
The output engine is more powerful than the display engine. That is, opacity, fill color on polylines, rotation on ellipses and other quirky combinations will not show up on the display, but will be saved in the Flash file.
