Lesson started by Geneen showing us how she was going to check the progress of our blogs. She did this by using firefox, Firefox was able to check everyones blogs and see which ones had been updated by using the rss feeds. She then told us what she was looking for in the blogs and what we needed in our blogs to get the marks. The blogs have to completed each week till the easter term. We are all ready on our 3rd week and time just seems to be flying by so easter should just be around the corner.
We then took our first real look at flash. The program we are using is Flash Developer CS3. This is much like Flash Develper 8 but instead of action script 2 it now has the new action script 3. She then showed us how to produce some simple motion and shape tween. This was simple enough to do.
Geneen then opened up this Fish Tank flash document which had been done by someone else. She explained that we could produce layers in flash to make various objects move at the same time. She then played the Flash clip, the fish began to come a live and move about the tank. It was pretty impressive.
We then touched upon the new action script, just explaing that we could but different commands to different things e.g Stop the loop.
At the end of the lessons she showed us the concept behind the timeline. We looked at different adverts and movies.
One of the clips was a old man called Geri who played chess against himself. The short film is really funny to watch and the animation is amazing.
