Fireworks animation-Airplanes and parachutes

Now we're going to learn to animate with fireworks, and to make the animation look more realistic, we use pictures of airplanes and parachutes as footage, and we can learn about the use of lasso tools and the input methods of external images. In this case, you will actually be exposed to the essential concepts of animation---Layer (layer), frame (frame), symbol (symbol) and instance (reference), and how to use them reasonably. If you can carefully follow the following methods, the animation of this example is very exciting, similar to a movie screen. 　　 First step:Import the airplane picture and remove the background. Open a new file, width=250,hight=120, and the background color is #0066ff. Select File > Import (Import External file), and select a picture of the aircraft in the catalog (this example uses a picture that has been resized in advance, in GIF format). In the Toolbox Select the Lasso tool polygon Lasso, with the mouse carefully along the aircraft's external contour a small paragraph attached to a small paragraph, when the selected path first connected, click the left mouse button, the contour line into dashed. Then select Edit > Cut from the main menu, trim and save the selected aircraft image to the Clipboard, then select Edit > Deselect,edit > Clear to remove any remaining photos after the cut. 　　 Step Two:Turn the plane image into symbol. Select the main Menu's edit > Paste and copy the image you just cut from the plane to the artboard. Click on the airplane image, select Modify > Group, and choose Insert > Convert to Symbol, and change the image into a symbol, and in the dialog box that appears, enter a name, such as plane (do not enter Chinese name), Type select graphic and click OK to turn the plane image into a symbol. Choose Edit > Clone, clone the instance of a plane, pull the new plane to the top, select the original (first) aircraft, select the Trasform button in the toolbox, and drag the small square that appears on the corner of the box around the first plane, and turn it to a smaller Then drag the cloned (second) plane to the top left side of the artboard, pressing the SHIFT key to select all two planes. 　　 Step Three:Let the plane fly. Select Modify > Symbol > Tween instances, in the dialog box that appears, the step bar is changed to 20, indicating that the plane flies from the lower right to the top left of the process to use 20 frames, tick the following small box, click OK. Select Window > Frames, open the frame panel, there is a 22-line frame edit box, press the SHIFT key to select all of them, click the small triangle in the upper right corner of the frame panel, select Properties, in the dialog box that appears to change 20 to 10, Make each frame play time from 0.2 seconds to 0.1 seconds, and then tick the following small box. Click the mouse at any point in the frame panel, and the animation of the plane is complete. Click the playback button in the lower right corner of the screen to see, you will see the plane from afar, flying closer to appear larger, and finally from the top left of the screen. 　　 Fourth Step:The first stage of the parachute. The design of this example is that the plane just want to fly out of the picture before, there is a parachute from the plane down, parachute descent process is divided into three stages: not open fast fall, not open to quickly open, open after the slow swing down. This step is the first stage of it. Click on the layer (layer) on the left side of the frame panel and open the Layer panel, and you will see that there are two layers of web layer and Layer1, and the Layer1 (first level) is the aircraft animation we did before. Click on the small triangle in the upper-right corner of the Layer panel, select New Layer (Create a layer), and pop up a dialog box, as shown. You don't have to change it, click OK, you'll add Layer2 (second layer) to the layer panel, and the parachute will be on this floor. Click on the Frame information box at the top of the layer panel, select Frame18, select Layer2, select Main Menu File > import, enter the parachute photo (already made transparent picture in GIF format), and follow the steps in the second and third steps above. Turn the parachute image into a Symbol, name Parash, and clone a second parachute image below it, adjust the two images to the minimum, first move to the lower quadrant of the plane, the second to the lower left position, and then select Modify > Symbol > Tween > Instaces, Frame number input 7, completed the first stage of the parachute production. Editing this layer, in order not to affect the first layer has been done, you can add the first layer of the lock (click on the layer panel in the Layer1 line of the eye icon to the right space), the figure has been shown. 　　 Fifth Step:The second stage of the parachute. In the layer panel, select frame 26 (that is, the last frame done), then select the small parachute image on the diagram, clone another parachute, and resize it to a larger, move to the side of the previous small parachute, and select the reference for both parachute images. Select Modify > Symbol > Tween instances, change the frame number to 2, and check the box below. 　　 Sixth step:The third stage of the parachute. Select Frame 29 (frame 29th) in the Layer panel, clone another parachute in the diagram and resize it to a slightly larger angle, and drag it to the lower left of the previous parachute and two parachutes. Select Modify > Symbol > Tween instances to change the frame number to 6. Select Frame 36 in the layer panel, repeat the steps above, but the second reference is moved to the lower right of the previous one. Choose Frame 43 again and repeat the steps above, but move most of the newly cloned parachutes to the screen. Finally, open the frame panel, select Frame 29 and then until the last frame (press SHIFT), click on the small triangle in the upper right corner, select Properties, change the number 10 to 20, that is, the parachute third phase of the decline rate of one-fold. Thus far, this example is complete, press the lower right corner of the screen play button to see the effect, if your computer is not too advanced, you may feel the whole slightly slower, but when you output into the animated GIF (GIF format animation), then play when the speed can be, the effect is good? Here are two frames in this animation, the last one is actually the entire animation, but if you do not do it yourself, only the picture on the book, how it can be active?
