Capella University Course TS5506 - Jim Miller

Class Project - Chapter 8 - Animation (Smaller file, motion guide)

Driving to San Diego

This is the "after improvements" animation. The unimproved version is in Chapter 7. This version uses a guide layer, This version is also has a 300K smaller swf file than the Chapter 7 version because I "played" with the bitmap quality variable.

There are also a few minor enhancements. There are now additional keyframes in the text layer to display text comments as the car moves across the country.

Lessons Learned - As the our Flash MX 2004 Hands-on Trainingbook says, it is possible reduceswf files sizes in some cases without sacrificing graphics quality.
