You’ll be adding more layers to add an animated cityscape,
refining the animation of one of the actors, as well as add-
ing a third car and a 3D title. All the necessary graphic
elements have been imported into the Library panel. The
Stage is set at a generous 1280 pixels by 787 pixels to fill
up a high-resolution monitor, and the Stage color is black.
You might need to choose a different view option to see
the entire Stage. Choose View > Magnification > Fit in Window from the view
options at the top-right corner of the Stage to view the Stage at a magnification
percentage that fits your screen.
Animating Position
You’ll start this project by animating the
cityscape. It will begin slightly lower than
the top edge of the Stage, and then rise
slowly until its top is aligned with the top
of the Stage.
1 Lock all the existing layers so you don’t
accidentally modify them. Create a new
layer above the footer layer and rename
it city.
2 Drag the bitmap image called cityBG.jpg from the bitmaps folder in the Library
panel to the Stage.
