Battling with Flash
As I have said to a few people recently, the only difference between weekends and weekdays is that on weekends I can stay at home and work where there is “free” food, comfort, no classes and not having to listen to other people’s stuff. Other than that, I spend the rest of the time working….
Let’s just say I’ll be happy when this term is over and more specifically May 1st. Then things will be better. I think.
In the mean time, here is a sneakpeak at my Flash Journalism Project. I’ve spent 3/4 of the weekend on it so far and it looks fairly decent. There isn’t any content and only the “home,” “parts,” and “navigation” areas work so far, but the frameworks are getting there. I’ve foght quite a lot with making certain things happen like I want to and Flash has respended in kind by making me frustrated and wanting to bang my head against the wall. I ended up needing to take out one feature I planned on including because the coding was hurting my brain and I figured it wasn’t that important to the overall site to spend the time figuring it out. In any case, I hope you enjoy what works so far! It is kinda big for a flash file (430 kb) but hopefully I’ll be able to reduce it somewhat over time.
