Make sure you read chapter 6 and 7 before you begin this project.  It is also very important that you look through and take notes on Rigby primate taxonomy power points in 1, 2 and 3 before you attempt this.   My power points are full of information and can be used as one of your professional sources.

The purpose of the zoo trip is to see the different types of primates firsthand.  To observe their behavior, social organization, size, etc. and if appropriate, include some of these data into your zoo project. (I list all the primates towards the end of Rigby PrimatePowerPoints 3)

While at the zoo you should observe all the primates, focusing on your category if possible.  Take notes from the labels; scientific and common names, habitats, etc.  Many students bring cameras to take pictures and add the photos to their reports.  I am expecting between five and ten pages of handwritten notes from your zoo visit for the full 100 points. The notes and receipt can be scanned and sent to me or typed into the response page.   Notes must be turned in on the day the primate term paper is due,   Late notes will not be accepted.

Alternative zoo assignment during Covid times.

During the Corona Virus School closure, an alternate assignment would be to visit the Los Angeles zoo website and list the varieties of primates currently at this facility (I list all the primates towards the end of Rigby PrimatePowerPoints 3).  I also give a list of the primates from the Los Angeles Zoo at the end of Rigby primate taxonomy 3 power points in module 7. Research each of the primates and give some background information on each such as the category of primate, diet, habitat, etc.   Are the varieties a good reflection of the diversity found in primates found on earth today?  How does our zoo compare to other zoos found in the US and worldwide?   This should be between five and ten pages long.

I. Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to use the various features and

functions in Adobe Animate to create a commercial for your fictional company/organization.

This assignment is an opportunity to utilize the animation authoring skills that you have learned

to develop a creative and original 10-second non-looping animation to deliver a message about

your company/organization.

II. Steps

 

1. You must use Adobe Animate to create your commercial. Your animation must meet the

following requirements:

 Document Setting:

 Dimension: CAN NOT exceed 800 pixel width and 600 pixel height

 Frames per second MUST be set to 12

 Platform/Playback Type:

 HTML5 Canvas (preferred) or ActionScript 3.0

 Accessibility Setting (ActionScript 3.0):

 The Accessibility Panel (Window > Properties > Accessibility) must be

activated

 For the movie:

o Select the “Make Movie Accessible” option

o Provide an alternative equivalent in the “Name” and “Description” fields

 For each object (e.g., button)

o Select the “Make Object Accessible” option

o Provide an alternative equivalent in the “Name” and “Description” fields

 Ensure that no component of the content flashes more than three times in

any 1-second period

 Requirements (The animation should play in the following order):

 Preloader:

 Select a background color; Create a text box, aligned at the horizontal

center of the stage and type in 'Loading' in the text box; Create 5 small

white squares and align them as shown.

 Create a preloader animation so that the squares sequentially turn to

black squares for 0.5 second each, moving from left to right.

 Motion Tween (all of the following):

 Resulting in a color change of any object

 Resulting in a position change of any object (movement)

 Resulting in a transformation change of any object (scale, rotation)

2

 Shape Tween:

 Resulting in a shape change (morphing)

 Button:

 Insert a square and convert it into a button symbol

 Set the following states for the button:

o Up State: Create a text box on top of the square, with the text

‘End’ and align the square and text to look good.

o Over State: Change the color of the text ‘End’.

o Down State: Change the color of the text ‘End’.

 Ending (JavaScript or ActionScript 3.0):

 Create a new key frame after the frame on which the button is created.

Delete the button from this frame. Import the Image.gif file to your

library and drag an instance of it to this layer.

 Set the Actions to the button/frame so that the animation stops when the

button appears, and the animation continues to play the imported

Image.gif animation when the user clicks on the button.

 The imported Image.gif animation must run at least once completely

without looping.

 File Type:

 FLA (.fla)

 Time Length:

 At least 10 seconds (non-looping)

2. Submit your FLA file via Blackboard using the Assignments Tool (“Course Tools” 

“Assignments” follow the “Project 2: Animation Commercial” link).
