                                                        What I Did...

-I have been working in FLASH all week
-We have been making a city with a car moving on the road
-First I set the size and made turned the background into a grid
-That way i could draw the images easier
- I drew the tree and was able to copy it and have it show 3 times in different sizes
-After that I drew the car and added the guy into the car
-I mad a gradient of the sky to make it look like its fading
-After I drew the 3 buildings with windows
-After I made the ground and used different colours to show the road and the grass

-After that I re-sized the car and created a motion tween so it would move
-After I set up the entire city                              
-After that i made the blue "Start Movie" button go from green when you hover over it to gold when you click it
-I made it so the button starts the animation
- And finally to add my own  flare I added a planet-Gif and motion tweened it in the sky

                                                          Tips and Tricks

- I learnt lots of new shortcuts
- such as "F8" which creates a symbol
-"CTRL-B" breaks apart the image
-"CTRL-G" puts the image back together
-"F5" adds a frame
-"F6" is to add a keyframe
-"F7" is to add a blank keyframe
-"Ctrl-Enter" is to play the movie
"ctrl-X and Ctrl-V" are used to cut and copy image
"shift-ctrl-v" is used to paste in place
