Moving On A Path

I have done this multiple times for Gaming Concepts I. It is in adding animation, adding sound, and my final project. This is nothing new to me. According to the wiki I need to upload files for these projects even though I have a number of projects already uploaded that do what it is asking of me. Some of these uploads make no sense.

Topic Solutions

Well I already knew how to browse around for tutorials. I can either go to google, find links in a wiki educator's page, or go to a site that teaches me how to do so. There is also a disc that came with my copy of Flash CS4. There is nothing telling me that I need to blog about this assignment, but I thought I would just incase. Here is a project and tutorial I used for the project.

Learning From Others

If I didn't know how to copy and paste by now then my final project in Gaming I would have been none existent. That is to say that I copied various movie clips, scenes, and layers so I could combine them all just for that project. Usually I will copy one aspect of experiment A and experiment B to experiment C because each of them are a perfected aspect for one project. Sometimes I need to start over so I will go ahead and copy a picture inside of the animation then save as one movie clip in another project as opposed to several in its original project (sometimes ungroup doesn't work for me). Again this would be more useful if I were just starting out in flash. The only thing I forgot about in this is that I can look left for the actionscript to one scene, layer, variable, etc. That may prove to be handy in the future.

Programming Practices

This talked about where to put the semicolon, how to stop a loop, and how to use script assist. I never use script assist inless I can't find something I'm looking for in a tutorial. An assignment about this would be better if I had just started Flash.

Intro To Actionscript

I've finally continued blogging after friends randomly showing up at my house, intern chaos, laziness, and work oddities. If I start my own personal blog it might be about that. Anyway, this is assignment was surprisingly basic. It was a matter of retyping things on different areas of code to see what happens. At first I thought this was an utterly useless rehash of how to code and where to code. I was wrong because the last part of the assignment with the fly catcher explained how the hit test works which is something I have yet to incorporate in my game.
