REFLECTION ON MEETING 2 (27th SEPTEMBER 2014)

TUTORIAL - MOTION TWEEN (BALL)

Step 1:

Open a new flash file.

Step 2:

Draw a ball on the stage and convert it into a symbol. 

(2.1)

(2.2)

Leave the Behaviour checked as Movie Clip.

(2.3)

Step 3:

To create animation, insert a second keyframe along the timeline in frame 1 by clicking on any Frame that you prefer (here I choose Frame 30). At this Frame, create the second ball (e.g blue ball) using Step 2's step and then, move the ball to another location on the stage (you can enlarge or reduce the size of the ball).

(3.1)

Then, repeat Step 3 to create another ball (Ball 3) at other Frame (here I choose Frame 60).

Step 4:

To animate the ball so that it moves from frame 1 to frame 30 and finally to frame 60 gradually, click in the timeline between the two keyframes (between the frame 1 and frame 30) and select Motion from the Tween drop down menu in the Properties panel .

Then, repeat the same step for Motion Tween from ball 2(blue) to ball 3(black).

Step 5:

Now, select Control > Test Movie to see the ball moving gradually from the first position to the second position until the last position.

Here is the result:

ABOUT ME

Assalamualaikum wbt...Hellooooo....

After more than 4 years since I graduated, I've finally gathered up my courage to go back to school. I've always had this plan in mind (furthering my studies) ever since I graduated and I've always looked for the opportunities to do so. Finally, the chance has come and thank you Allah for making it happen. I feel blessed yet nervous at the same time.

6th of September 2014 was the historical date for me as on that day, I officially become an UTM's postgraduate student. There were many reasons why I choose this university and why I selected this course (Educational Technology). First, I have always been interested in new technology. Moreover, I teach ICT's subject at school. I'm always have passion for making my lesson exciting and engaging and I'm always looking to improve my teaching and learning. Therefore, I believe this course will really help me not only improving myself but also my teaching method. But why UTM? Why not other university? The main reason I choose UTM was because; not only it offered this course, but the external program (part time@offshore programme) for this course conducted at various locations (in Malacca particularly). So, it is very convenience for me who works in Muar and who always travel back to my hometown in Seremban. Besides, this university is very well established and world wide-known university.

Finally, I want to express my gratitude for those who are always supporting me especially my parents, colleagues (my headmaster especially), friends and families. Hopefully, I'll be able to graduate on time and pass with flying colours.

P/s : I'm really not good with words and please forgive me with my poor English. I'm trying to improve myself and always need your help, guidance and comment. Good Comments are appreciated, Bad Comment were not needed. TQ.

2.        Provide your own reflections on types of applications that can be develop with Adobe Flash CS3.

INTRODUCTION

This is the first semester of my study. For this semester, I’ve been offered three courses / subjects and AUTHORING SYSTEM (MPT 1193) is one of it. I’ve also been told by Dr. Jamalludin Harun, that, this course is pre-requisite for MPT 1293 & MPT 1393. The aims of this course in general, is to expose us (the students) with basic programming and authoring concepts.

            Truthfully, this is my first time hearing the name of this course and I’ve mix of feeling about it. Some part of me feel very excited to learn and explore a new thing, but the other part of me feel nervous yet a little scare of it. But, one thing for sure, I badly want to pass this course with flying colours, hence, other than paying full attention and actively engage in the class, I also need to complete and submit the required assessments before the submission date, as well as do it well.

            One of the individual assessment / evaluation (which carry 10% marks) is that I need to do a Learning Portfolio (BLOG). Therefore, this blog is created especially for it. In this blog, I will upload and share my knowledge and self-reflections on the lesson as well as learning activities or exercises that been given to me. In other words, this blog will consists;
