Assignment Number 5- Adobe Flash & Animation

I have been set a new Assignment in Adobe Flash. It is a live brief, producing Animation/content for an online toy store called Treasure Island Toys. The content is designer for the children and parents/ carers to the site more frequently and for longer visits, to build brand awareness and loyalty. The company sells toys to children of all ages, however this specific projects target audience is children between 5 and 7 years of age.

Some characters for the Animations have already been created. There are nine short children stories have been made up using the created characters.I am then expected to produce illustrations with animated flourishes to accompany one of these stories. I am allowed to create artwork in Illustrator and/or Flash's drawing environment, and create the animations and interactivity in Flash. These stroies have to be specifically created at 845x 475 pixels. They should all have a voice over reading the story with a suitable amount of text to explain the story. The users should be able to move to the next and previous page or start from the beginning from anywhere within your your story.

Once all the stories are complete in Flash, i need to design and build an interface that can display all of the stories. The homepage will carry links to all the other created flash animations. I will build this interface in html and lay it out using css.
