Lesson_02: Trace Bitmap & Tweening

This week we will explore the following:
1. Tracing a Bitmap (BRING A PICTURE OF YOURSELF)
2. Creating a typewriter effect using "distribute to layers" for text
3. Motion Tweening a Symbol
4. Shape tweening to morph a vector image

Try the following preparation exercise for the class this week:
Create a presentation using your name as the content for the following:
1. Step by step animation of the text using "distribution to layers" technique;
2. Motion tween a symbol (with your name inside) adding tint and/or alpha to the symbol;
3. Shape tween (morph) a vector version of your initials (HINT, you will need two layers for this);
4. Have a Bitmap picture of yourself as the background layer to the whole presentation.


Some very cool tweening sites ( For now or later on...)
