Creating a Flash Animation

In our computer class we recently created a flash animation. I have to say it took me a long time because it was the first time using the program. My first difficulty turned out to be while creating the motion paths. Since I was creating a man that was supposition to be joggling I did long motion paths and this confused the computer, after setting everything up correctly the ball I created failed to move along the path I had set for it. The only solution I was able to find for this was creating shorter motion paths. I had to get help from Ruslan in order to create the moving arms which required a long process. The teacher helped me to add the correct motion to the letters that show up at the end. Although my final product was a little short I found it was correctly compared to the idea I had in my head. If I were to continue my animation I would follow one of the balls that I was joggling into the next screen and make it crash into something causing a fire in which people are sitting around cooking.
