  • 2. 

    ____ is a graphic representation of drawings to show movement within those drawings.

    • Flash

    • Frames

    • Animation

    • Flipbook

    Correct Answer
    A. Animation
    Explanation
    Animation is a graphic representation of drawings to show movement within those drawings. It involves creating a series of images or frames that are displayed in rapid succession, giving the illusion of motion. This can be achieved through various techniques such as traditional hand-drawn animation, computer-generated animation, or stop motion animation. Flash is a software program used for creating animations, but it is not the correct answer as it is a specific tool rather than a graphic representation. Frames are individual images that make up an animation, but they are not the overall representation of movement. A flipbook is a form of animation where a series of images are drawn on pages and flipped quickly to create the illusion of motion. However, animation is the most accurate and general term that encompasses all these concepts.

    Flash documents measure time in ____.

    • Panels

    • Minutes

    • Frames

    • Layers

    Correct Answer
    A. Frames
    Explanation
    Flash documents measure time in frames. In Flash, frames are used to represent individual units of time. Each frame contains different elements such as graphics, animations, or actions, and by sequencing these frames, the illusion of motion is created. The timeline in Flash allows users to control and manipulate the timing and duration of these frames, enabling precise synchronization of animations and interactivity. Therefore, frames are the correct unit of measurement for time in Flash documents.
