Flash, Day One

Today we started by sitting down and listening to stuff: Flash introduction. We started off by watching a power point introduction on Adobe Flash 9.0 and learning the interface of its core.

Most of the tools are laid out in the same manner like those of the other Adobe Suites. Many of the tools used in Flash are almost exactly the same as Illustrator and Photoshop.

Today we were asked to take on three challenges using the Flash editor. By placing key frames and frames and using the 'tweener' tool, we manipulated the drawings, enabling movement between frames.


I uploaded a .swf that shows the basic changes in sound and pictures.
Along with this video, I partly decided on what I'm going to do for the BTW. It's going to incorporate a lot of motion because I feel that the more motion it contains, the more entertaining this, a better grade.

Since I did not read the board in the front, I have to write another blog.

Some of the good things about this semester were the interesting times we had in class. I don't remember them though...but I'm sure we had some...

I have no idea what made this semester any harder than any other previous semesters. It seemed all the same to me...#1: Learn the stuff, #2: play and exploit it, #3: do a BTW, and #4: take a road test. It didn't seem hard since I'm used to this process.

I really don't think anything was the best out of this semester because it's all the same (in ITA). But I remember my friends coming down from Sheboygan and we had fun at Buffalo Wild wings...haha...

Well today it was a cold day...the moment I woke up from my deep slumber I felt a sensation to just crawl right back into my cozy blankets.

Today at ITA, our acting skills were put to the test. Obviously we failed miserably with the help of Adrianne's urge to do the stanky leg. Although it was quite funny, Henry seemed to not enjoy being forced to do it even though he didn't anyways.

We semi-finished the BTW for excel and followed up by taking the Road Test. The test was fairly easy, the only problem was trying to get the charts to print on a separate sheet of paper from the data. I tried outlining the areas I wanted to print by using the "Set Print Area" tool, but since the test required me to change the paper to landscape form, not everything on the data table fit into its own sheet.

Finally...I can eat lunch now..

Additional Authors?

Dear Jeremy,

I thought that since I have the ability to post on your blog, I should just do it!
But I'm here to tell you that I will (right after this post) remove myself from being an author on your blog.

Nice job on your blogs, and hopefully you won't add us to be authors in the future. Instead, you'll add us to read'em only =]

Today we created a game in Microsoft Excell. This game required the creation of complex formulas referencing different files. The file we used had drop-down boxes which were 'uberly' weird. While I was busily creating my file, I watched, and played on facebook along with Henry and Bryce. At the end, the game did not work for us because of some error with '#NAME' even though all replacements for both players' names were correct. Since Henry didn't make a player, he ganged up with Bryce and they both worked on one character. They lost epicly in the free playground against me. :)

Today's Daily News!

To-be cheerleader was supposed to go Pro until she got her Flu Shot! Apparantly ten days after her Flu shot she had a syndrome that forced her muscles to spazz and nerves to twitch constantly. The weird thing about this syndrome is that she is not able to speak very well or walk forward BUT she can walk backwards fine and while running or slowly jogging forwards, she can speak normally. As soon as she begins to walk forward, her muscles and nerves twitch constantly.
