IDE Report

Flash is an Adobe animation and action script based program that lets the user create animations, games, web buttons and more. Using dynamic graphics and simple to use software, almost anyone can use Flash.

Flash is a highly used software for gaming as it has a fairly simple layout and it has preset coding for new game designers using actionscript. Flash also works with Photoshop well so importing static images and layers to Flash is simple and easy.

One of the tools I have learnt to use is the tweening tools that help with the animations in the games. What you draw or create on stage can animate in different ways by using this tool such as changing shape with the shape tween. Another tween is the motion tween which allows you to easily animate the motion of an object without defining the location of the object every frame. The classic tween refers to the tweening from CS3 which lets you move, rotate and even change the object.

Actionscript uses events in a simple coding manner and is useful for importing sounds, . Any errors that actionscript finds will come up in your Output dialogue box that indicates what line of coding is wrong. Flash contains a feature that allows you to see whether or not your game or program will work on mobile devices or tablets called a accelerometer. This is useful to programmers and designers to work out a way to make their designs more attractive on handheld devices.
