LECTURES & ACTIVITIES

Week 6 

This week’s online class is being held in place of the usual in-person session due to the ASEAN Summit. For our activity, we’ll be working on creating an animated, clickable button. The process begins by preparing the file and setting up the stage. Once that’s done, we’ll draw a rectangle and add some text on top of it. Both the rectangle and the text will then be converted into a graphic symbol. Afterward, we’ll select the two items together, duplicate them, and place the copy on a new layer. The final step is to turn this copy into a button symbol, ready for animation and interactivity.

This week, I discovered a new feature: interactive buttons using actions. To start, we first right click the keyframe and choose the Actions option. There, we start setting it up by clicking on Add with Wizard, which guides us through the setup.

Finally, to end the animation, we created another action at frame 40 and selected the stop command. This concludes the timeline sequence. The entire preview and final outcome displayed below can be seen.

Week 7

This week we had a class session directed to making an opening animation with a button that, when clicked, goes directly to the main website. Mr. Shamsul gave us an example from the FWA Awards, and so we were tasked to create a similar style of animation. Below are some snapshots showing the work we made.

A good trick I've discovered is that if the shape tween has gone awry, using Break Apart (Ctrl + B) will normally sort it out. We also did a masking effect for the text so that it could emerge smoothly from in front of a line. We added a fade-in effect and then put in a button which leads visitors on to the next page. By using action scripts such as those in our Week 6 exercise, we could in fact interact with and activate the button. Here is the end result.

INSTRUCTIONS
MIB BOOKLET:



TASK 2

Interactive Design Planning and Prototype 

In this assignment, we were instructed to take note of the visual design and begin considering a website's interactive elements and features. Interactive web design, unlike conventional static websites, involves animations, and therefore the planning must go beyond simple layout visuals. It should also include references or examples of the intended animations. Students are encouraged either to design their own animations or use reference animations to help communicate their design concepts.


Requirements:

Walkthrough Video

Create a walkthrough video that presents your website plan and shows the animation examples and/or references used to support your design ideas.

E-Portfolio Post
Create a reflective blog post in your online e-portfolio. The blog post must include:
A concise summary of your planning process and key takeaways
Citations for any resources used in planning the design (e.g., Figma, Miro, animation references, etc.)
