Now you should be set up and ready to go. For this lesson, we're going to use
movie clips and buttons to dress our snowman; instead of having our animation progress in sequence along a timeline, we're going to package it up neatly inside separate movie clips and then let the user control it by clicking a button to activate it.
This lets us add the various animated objects in whatever order we choose, instead of being confined to the main timeline.
To start with, let's create the first animated object. I've decided to start with the hat; it's an easy object to make, just a couple of ellipses and a rectangle, gradient-filled and stroked in black.
