Rainbow Dance (1936) by Len Lye

This was my first idea which was hard and it would take too long to make it.I have screen shot this imagine from an animation.This imagine inspired me to understand the movements of the character.

Here I have made a straight line where my object or character will stand.

Then I have made two circles by using circle tool.One is big another one is small this will give me enough space to put a little circle in between .

Inside the two circle I putted another small circle and coloured in red so it will be easy to see the movements. 

Then I started to animate the little red circle. I have used the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the circle.

I have named every layers. Naming the layers helps me to understand which layer I am working on.

This is my first Animation that I have made in 'flash'. I can improve this animation and make it more interesting by adding another ball.This animation is too simple. Next time I can make it loop.
