Step 17

After that, take the Paint Bucket Tool (B), for Fill color set #84E7FF and paint the "sky". After that, take again the Selection Tool (V) and using the "drag and drop" technique move the sky layer below the city contour layer. See the picture below.



Now you have this:



Step 18

Select the sky layer and press F8 key (Convert to Symbol) to convert this layer (sky) into a Graphic Symbol.



Step 19

Repeat steps 11,12 and 13, but for this time, do that for "sky". See the picture below.



Step 20

To make alive this picture, we will create a little "plane" and animate it.

Step 21

Create a new layer above the city contour layer and name it plane.

Step 22

Using the Flash Tools for drawing, draw a simple "plane" and place it on the position like it is shown on the picture below.



Step 23

Take the Selection Tool (V), select the "plane" and press F8 key (Convert to Symbol) to convert this plane into a Graphic Symbol.



Step 24

Click on frame 300 of layer city contour and sky and press F5 key. After that, go back on layer plane, click on frame 300 and press F6 key. After that, place the plane on this position:



Step 25

Right-click anywhere on the gray area between the two keyframes on the timeline and choose Create Motion Tween from the menu that appears.



Step 26

Take the Selection Tool (V) and double click on "plane" to go in its inside. After that, while the "plane" is still selected, press Ctrl+C key.

Step 27

Go back on the main scene (Scene 1), create a new layer above the plane layer and name it plane shadow. After that, select it and press Ctrl+V key (Paste).

Step 28

After that, place the "shadow plane" on this position:



Step 29

While the "shadow plane" is still selected, press F8 key (Convert to Symbol) to convert this "shadow plane" into a Graphic Symbol.

Step 30

After that, take the Free Transform Tool (Q) and repeat step 13 but for this time do that for "shadow plane". Now, you have this:



Step 31

Take the Selection Tool (V) click once on the "shadow plane" to select it and go to the Properties Panel (Ctrl+F3) below the stage.On the right, you will see the Color menu. Select Brightness in it and put it down to 64%. See the picture below.



Step 32

Click on frame 300 and press F6 key. After that, place the "shadow plane" on this position:



Step 33

Right-click anywhere on the gray area between the two keyframes on the timeline and choose Create Motion Tween from the menu that appears.

That's it. We're done!
