The TechnologyAny artist knows that a drawing is made up of many, many shapes. Likewise, no drawing in Swish is an object to itself. Any object is made up of many other objects. - Create two objects such as two circles, or a circle and a square, or a square and a square, or a square and a circle, or (using the Autoshape Tool) two triangles, or two stars or a triangle and a circle....
- Click on the timelines of the two objects.
- You will need to hold click on one, hold the Control button down and then click on the other.
- Under the Modify menu pick Grouping and then Group as Group.
- Control G is a keyboard shortcut for this.
- If you now click on the selection tool, you will notice that if you try to move one of your objects, both will move together.
- Using keyframes, construct a short loop to take your grouped objects around the stage together.
- It's a pretty simple technique, but a pretty important one.
The Task- Using the drawing tools to the left of the stage, you are going to create a drawing that includes at least four objects such as two eyes, a nose and a mouth, or a car body (which is probably made up of at least two objects itself), and two wheels.
- Add a smattering of color to make the objects stand out from each other a bit.
- Group them.
- Animate the group on the stage using at least 10 keyframes and 100 regular frames (110 frames in total).
