Flash Animation 3: Fireworks E-card

From Adrien-Luc Sanders, former About.com Guide

Changing the fill color is extremely simple. With the new copy still selected, just change the swatch colors in the Color Mixer panel and watch the changes reflect on the selected shape. I’ve made this one green, blue, and yellow.

For now, we’re done. Make as many variations on the fireworks burst as you want; I’ll be making a few more colors and maybe a few more shape bursts for the next lesson, when we’ll be animating them. For now you’ve got your basic scene set, and you should be more familiar with how the basic tools and control panels in Flash are used to create animated scenes, and a few nifty little tricks and effects.
