Waving People Project

An anchor points is the point at which an object rotates.  Understanding anchor points is an important part of animation.  To grasp this concept, you are going to create 4 people of various sizes and animate their arms in a waving up/down motion.  Each body part that is going to move must be on a separate layer.

Change the background color to a solid color other than white. This project will teach you how to convert shapes into a symbol and how to adjust anchor points. There is a PDF tutorial located to the right to help you complete this project.

As you work, save your project as a .fla and name it lastname + first initial + people.fla. When you are finished, export it as a .SWF file with the same name (ex: pettywpeople.SWF).
