Flash Stick Figure Animation

        To create my Flash stick figure animation I started by making 9 layers for the background, floor, doors, furniture, toys, head, body, legs and meteor. I used the rectangle tool to make doors in the door layer, a shelf in the furniture layer and the wall in the background layer. I made the separate parts of the stick figure using the line tool and the oval tool. Every 20 to 30 frames I would move the figure and make the legs different as if the figure were walking. The stick figure is walking from their room then to the kitchen on a normal day. In the third room which is the living room the stick figure jumps with joy and that is when a meteor hits the stick figure. The stick figure gets burnt and disintegrates. To get the figure to look like it disintegrates I changed the alpha of the figure from 100% to 50% then to 0%. I made the shapes into symbols and had a motion tween on them so the symbols move.
