Lab 26

In this lab we focused on the coding side of Flash. We gave instructions to certain buttons so that they would execute commands. The car can now move in all direction by clicking the arrows or pressing the keyboard arrows. This skill is useful because it is the foundation of making a game that runs smoothly. I enjoyed this lab because coding is always tedious to learn but allows me to take pride in my final work. http://techteach.us/DD2015/VKevin/labs/lab26/LB26_KevinVeress_DD.html

Lab 25

In this lab we made buttons that seem like they switch the page. However, they do not. This skill is useful for making an interactive website. It would attract a lot of attention and it would bring a site to life. Actionscript really messed me up at first but then I found my bugs.

Lab 23

In this lab we made an animation based on the concept of a vanishing point. We used a bitmap and graphic image to show the vanishing point. It was about 2 cars that are coming and going that appear and disappear from the vanishing point. This is important because if we create anything that is meant to be viewed by a large audience we wouldn't want to mess up the perspective aspect of the animation.

Lab 24

In this lab we used a mask on an animation to make it part of a new animation. It looks like the guy at the bus stop is thinking of driving in a car. The mask can be really useful because it allows you to shape an animation's visible window. This is useful when trying to make a website look appealing. I had fun in this lab because it allowed me to be creative.

Project 4

In this project, we had to develope a short animation themed respect for all. We used Flash to create the animation and we used its timeline to add events and motions. This skill is useful for when we need to display a message in a direct way without recording a skit. A job may ask us to redo this project. It also promotes respect, and in my case tolerance. Do not let the slurs of one man or group define who we are. Have respect for all!

Lab 22

In this lab we added sound effects to the buttons we had already created. Unfortunately GarageBand fused all my sounds together making each click 32 seconds long. To sidestep that obstacle I made it so that they we all the same 3 second long sound. This lab taught me to deal with real world problems critically as well as to use sounds in Flash. The skills will be useful in the future for when I need to add sounds or resolve conflicts.

Lab 21

In this lab we added animations to the symbols we created in Lab 19. We used the timeline to change the position of the symbols then animated it to look like the symbols moved. I enjoyed this lab because it was a lot of fun and allowed me to use my imagination to make something unique. This lab was important because it showed me how to use flash, which will be a useful skill.
