Exercise Animation 2

Before you begin, go File...Save As this Wordpad document to your Exercise Folder on your harddrive. Save as Firstname.LastName.Exan2.htm.
Now, begin your work on your harddrive copy.

#1. Create a more complex animation using these 3 images of a ball, a bat, and a handed glove.

You will obviously need to resize the images and make the backgrounds transparent. The scene I would like you to create is an animation starting with the bat only. As the animation progresses, the ball appears to be pitched in from one side. Consider using increasing opacity of the ball as it appears. The bat swings to hit the ball. The ball returns to it's original side and a glove reaches up to catch the ball. Make sure when you add the glove that the arm is not totally seen so that it looks like someone reaching from of the screen to catch the ball. Optimize and save your completed animation as an2.gif into your Exercises folder on your harddrive. Create the html for making this animation appear centered between this question and question #2.

#2. How many frames did you use?

#3. How large is the file size?

#4. How long would it take a 56k modem to load this image?(hint: See the image window in Image Ready.)
