Step 1

Open Flash and start a new project with dimension of 400 X 300, set the frame rate
at 36 fps, set the background colour as whatever you like, I used white for this
example. See the picture below.

Step 2

Find any picture on internet or somewhere, open it in some of graphic programs

(photoshop....), and set its dimension to 400x300px. After that, go in flash,
choose File > Import > Import to Stage, to Import it into the Flash stage.

Step 3

While the picture is still selected, go to the Align panel (Ctrl+K), and do the
following in the Align panel:

a) Make sure that the Align/Distribute to Stage button is turned on,

b) Click on the Align horizontal center button and
c) Click the Align vertical center button.

Step 4

Take the Selection Tool (V) and double click on layer 1 to rename its name in
picture. After that, create a new layer above layer picture and name it object.

Step 5

Draw, or Import any object. I will use balloon for this example.

Step 6

Take the Selection Tool (V), select the object and press F8 key (Convert to Symbol)
to convert this object into a Movie Clip symobl. See the picture below.

Step 7

While the object is still selected, go to the Properties Panel (Ctrl+F3) to its
left side. You will find the Instance name input field there. Call this Movie Clip:
object_mc. See the picture below.

Step 8
Create a new layer and name it text. After that, take the Text Tool (T) and in the
Properties Panel (Ctrl+F3) below the stage, select the following options:

a) Select a Dynamic Text field.

b) Select a generic font family: sans , for example.
c) Choose 14 as font size.
d) Select black as color.
e) Select Single line for your textfield (6).

After that, click and drag out a text field on the stage. See the picture below.

Step 9

Then,in the Properties Panel for type (call this Dynamic Text) information_txt. See
the picture below.

Step 10

Create a new layer and name it Action. Select it, click on the first frame, press
F9 or select Window > Actions to open the Actions panel.

After that, enter the following ActionScript code inside the Actions panel:

information_txt.text = "Use your arrow keys to move the balloon!";

var speed:Number = 4;
object_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x = this._x+speed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x = this._x-speed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this._y = this._y-speed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
this._y = this._y+speed;
}
};

Action Script explanation:

1.information_txt.text = "Use your arrow keys to move the balloon!";

1. Display instructions on the screen

2 .var speed:Number = 4;
2. Set the speed for the object

3. object_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
3. Capture the onEnterFrame event of the object_mc movie clip

4. if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x = this._x + speed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x = this._x - speed;
}

4. Move horizontally if the RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys are pressed

5. if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this._y = this._y - speed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
this._y = this._y + speed;
}
};

5. Move vertically if the UP or DOWN arrow keys are pressed

We're done!
