Reflection Journal: Lab 23

Lab 23 was about creating a button that works with bouncing ball. I used Adobe Flash to complete this lab. First, I made a ball with the oval tool and added a motion tween. Then, I made two buttons.
One of the buttons is used to play the animation and another one is to stop it. Next, I inserted a new layer for action scripts. After inserting the new layer, I put action scripts for my buttons. By adding the action scripts for my buttons, the animation plays or stops as the button is pressed.

By completing this lab, I learned how to use action scripts and their functions. I also learned that action script can make a Flash animation interactive. In the future, I can use the techniques for this lab when I need to make an animation that involves with interactive features such as buttons.
