WEEK 12

Today was a continuation of the previous Flash 8. Ms Nah was so kind enough to give us a WONDERFUL New Year present.........

LAB GUIDE SHEETS FOR MACROMEDIA FLASH8.

Say.. WOW!

Anyway, instead of a circle, we started with a polystar instead! But well, this was just the beginning of a very very tedious day of Flash. *pulls a long face. Sadly, we've just got to get the hang of the program. We HAVE to because we'll be needing it for our project later on. A basic Flash presentation with animations and buttons and all.

The sample given for the buttons and we had to edit them. Kinda likedthe fact that it changed colour when the mouse went over it. Pretty impressive stuff! Learnt to edit the button and animate it as well. Of course, the most important part was adding navigations to websites or another page on the presentation and such. Not to forget, we had to test the SWF file as well.

The last part of the lab was cool. Was giving the skeleton of one of the Flash presentations Ms Nah showed us before of some cars. We had to go through the tutorial to learn more functions such as saving a picture in the library so it could be copied to be used if need be throughout the presentation. Editting any library graphic and saving it would also affect all copies used.

We also had to play around with the wheel. I only got as far at changing the rotation angle and speed before class ended. Saw a cool example where the wheel fades!

Mmm. Maybe I could try it out next week! Oh I sure hope it doesn't get too hard though. *Crosses fingers*
