make changes in the Property inspector or Transform

panel, or simply drag the text box handles to resize it.

Resizing the text box does not resize the text itself, but

it does reﬂow the text in the text box. You can convert

text to a symbol, and animate it similar to any other

symbol. You can also apply a ﬁlter, such as a drop

shadow or glow, to text.

In this lesson, students create static text, which appears

exactly as it’s typed on the Stage. In Lesson 8, students

use dynamic text, which changes depending on viewer

input or events in ActionScript.

Animating text with masks

Flash can recognize only one mask object on a mask

layer. Therefore, to mask the text effectively in this les-

son you must draw rectangles in merge drawing mode

and be sure to overlap them, creating a single mask

shape. For each change of the mask, students must ﬁrst

create a keyframe and then add to the mask.

Creating a blinking eect

When you insert a keyframe, the frame’s contents are

preserved until you change them. When you insert a

blank keyframe, the frame’s contents are erased. There-

fore, you can use blank keyframes to create a blinking

effect for the low battery symbol.

Adding keyframes to frames 206, 213, and 220 ﬁrst en-

sures that each of those keyframes will contain the low

battery symbol. Adding blank keyframes to frames 203,

210, 217, and 224 clears the content from those key-

frames, so that the low battery symbol does not appear

until the next keyframe. That is, the battery symbol

appears between frames 206 and 210, between frames

213 and 217, and between frames 220 and 224.
