Hot Action Script





There it is.

Theers a matrix of stuff goin on in there...

I'm Happy with how its turned out thus far. All of the buttons seems to be working well. This one hides that one, here and there. I kinda like the waterfall mask, and superman is staying. What are electrolytes?? Really? One drags out my totally red ripped muscles and my superman tshirt will consume you.

Do what Do what?

Fixed a Button



Quizzical

What is the difference between an event handler and a frame event?

An event handler uses code

(onPress;onRelease;etc...)

A frame event is in the timeline

Motion graphics and tweens

Flippin the Script





— I liked the idea of making a person do something coming from the interaction of a person. And some iron begins to surface that you are on the computer, playing a game that makes a person exercise.

I havent got all of the Script working...i hit a wall with figuring out how to talk to my computer.
The jumping jack button works fairly well. More to come of course



Movin More Around





I trimmed off the last chapter of planet around the sun. I believe this says what im sayin....

This is gonna be quite a ride.

Reviewed the stuff, and i can kinda almost "read" the code....

Haben Sie einen Gutentag?







I am pleased with the outcome of this project... thus far... there could be an infinite number of tweaks of course, but I feel some sort of concept has been conveyed.

I have created an environment that apparently has a beginning. The elements start out as if they were put there, and begin down a seemingly preconceived path. Upon contact with one another, a reaction happens and pushes each of them away from one another. Reaction after reaction the orbs begin to pick up inertia. Suddenly a black dot falls and bounces onto the realm. It emits a white light and spasms into a starburst form. The energy is then compacted into a "Deathstar" and explodes into a flash of light. To reveal....a "big bang"

Baller



My file has started moving the right way. I have my file setup and now all i need to do is following the bouncing balls and keep them moving.

Its gonna get pretty crazy ideally, i may have it speed up some and then slow back down. But eventually something like a white ball is going to drop and explode and wipe out all of these colored balls...or change them into something?

I also going to go back and start adding small details, such as a color changes upon contact

Quiz | 9.11.08

1. What is the difference between a symbol and an instance?
A symbol is no longer on the pasteboard, it has become a link in a file.

2. What is the difference between a frame that has an empty circle and a frame that has a black circle?
The black circle requires more data to move

3. What are two of the main reasons that people use flash?
Internet and interactivity

4. You can only motion tween a blank...
A shape or instance

5. How do you tell the difference between a shape and a symbol?
A symbol is linked

Digital Landscape
An intangible realm of bites and bits, ones and zeros.

Ideally one would have a 360 degree view, taking the characteristics of a sphere.

If knowledge is power, and the internet runs on electricity, emitted light seems like a viable metaphor for "knowledge".

The internet is mainly about interaction, the more you know, the "brighter" you are.

But its not white light, every object has its own certain ora and upon interaction you take a small bit of its characteristics, sort of like mixing paints.


As you interact and move the objects, their color becomes richer, but if left alone they start to dim out. >>If you interact alone, aka "study", your personal ora becomes richer, but if not, you become dated and dim out. And the timer starts upon opening

Upon interaction with one another the colors mix, mixing the projected light. Eventually if stimulated and mixed enough a white light will be created. A "flash" or "explosion" effect could occur and youll see the trace of the "orb" absorbing into the landscape itself.

If you interact with the internet enough, and become "enlightened", eventually you will write a blog or post a comment or a picture, and become a part of the internet. Your energy immortalized into the deep deep archives of the internet.

Will it ever fill up?

D. Duh

It seems like a whole lot to learn right off when listening to all of the videos. But im sure once we go through it once itll be much easier to get a hang of.

Are the more finessed projects symbols and instances linked premade files, rather than objects created with the vectors of the program...?
