Education And History Of ―Wayang‖ Using Flash

Animation As Media Learning
Deny Setiawan

Abstract: Wayang is one of the cultural heritages in Indonesia, puppets are synonymous with Javanese tribes, in this day and age many puppets do not
know what puppets and their history are so that it is believed that the puppet culture will be lost or even stolen by other countries. learning that contains
information about puppets and their history, learning media created later will take the form of animations that display images, types of puppets, puppet
plays and other information, learning media created using Adobe Flash so the results will be interesting because the software has many facilities to
produce animations the good one.

Keywords: Wayang, Flash Animation, Puppets, Media Animation, Culture, History of Wayang

Adobe Flash
Adobe Flash is multifunctional software. Adobe flash is used to
create vector images, very interesting animated images, or to
build interactive and dynamic web sites. Flash is designed with
some puppet figures: the ability to create reliable and light two-dimensional
animations so that Flash is widely used to create logos, films,
Figures Image games and so on[16], [17]. In Flash there are animation
creation techniques, action script facilities, filters, custom
easing, and video entry complete with FLV playback facilities.
Regardless of its initial function, which makes it easier to
create web animations, it turns out that flash is growing so fast
Dewi Sinta that we can use it as an extraordinary multimedia software.
Even Flash with the action script can be used as an easy and
effective game and computer-based learning media creation
program[18]–[20].

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

System implementation is the stage that is carried out after
completing the system design. In the implementation of this
system, preparations are made for the system devices
needed. Because the system designed must be supported by
adequate devices, so the system can work as desired.

regarding the history of puppets and puppet information in
detail.

4. CONCLUSION
Media Educational puppet can be used as a learning tool for
the general public, especially for elementary school students
to learn indigenous Indonesian culture. Maintaining cultural
preservation is important and this multimedia-based
educational media can be used as a reference for anyone.
The system created is still very basic and needs further
development so that it can be accepted by anyone and most
importantly it can run on any platform.
