onPress.gotoAndPlay("Tarnished Gonads");






Well Sup Everybody?
You'll notice right of the bat there is some new comers. I added Repulsica and Piss Kid Paul, and as always, there is still Lil Zacky and the son-of-bitch-asshole: Chris. I still have aspirations of putting Chris in Denim. but because the ninja's animations were all hand-drawn I would have to completely redo and redraw that character and that would suck. I still plan on doing it... it'll just have to be addressed later.

I had infinite trouble with pathing. I beleive this is for two reasons.
1. I'm Retarded.
2. We did kind of go over it in the last 3 minutes in class and by that time all I could think of was whether I wanted beef and cheese frozen burritos for lunch or corn dogs...

I ended up going with the corn dogs.

I mean nearly all of my movie clips have multiple moving parts in them. So I mean I know I'm close and Im sure once I learn how to path my workspace will be a lot more organized. but in the mean time I can fake it.

Lets see what else.

Oh yeah I fixed up the timing in some parts and polished the ninja's technique. I also tinkered with the background:






I thought this was repulsive






and I though this was okay but I still enjoy my initial scape the most. Mostly because I chose that image first then based all my colors and character compositions off of it. I dunno I'm hoping the addition of Paul and Repulsica will pull some of the attention away from the confusing background and into the meat of the image.

I realize this is the longest statement I've written thus far.


shit.


I need to get some hobbies.

Boo-yah achieved






Chris is such an asshole.


Yo peep this:

I think this is alot more sucsexful than my last entry.
I did alot of changing.
1. I added a sweet ass background
2. I got rid of the ghost and replaced it with Lil. Zacky.
3. The ninja know some new moves. In fact because he is constantly moving the registration points for rollover and roll our are constantly changing. This allows you to create some pretty sweet combos. For instance if you place the mouse over his left leg where he's got the black ninja sock thing going on he'll do a lunge punch. Fucking fierce! I know!... but check this out: If you place the mouse over the Ninja's balls (which I know you will) and move it ever so slightly to the left you can make Chris do a tight kick punch combo. It kinda looks like a Dance move..... only malicious.
Anyways I don't want to give everything away.

quiz 2

1. What is the difference between frame events and event handlers?
A frame event is a event that takes place over a certain frame number.
For instance if I wanted something to play at frame 2 I'd make a frame event of that movie clip that'll read a lil something something like:
gotoAndPlay(2)

however an event handler is a little more specific and organized. I could name a specific part of my timeline and then refer to that part for later use. this is important if you decided to add and insert frames later on. If I was using a simple frame event and then inserted frames later... chances are my playback wouldn't be exactly as desired. However if I would have named that event Say "the guy takes a dookie" No matter how many frames I add when I type

gotoAndPlay(theguytakesadookie) you already know what's up. It'll still work and play where expected

Flash Failures...




Let me first address my successes before I move onto my failures. This is my finished digital landscape. I really didn't change anything except the looping of the clouds. I made them start and stop in the same place for seamless playback. That was the main issue that bothered me. I do plan on adding more on my own time and possibly making this an interactive tale of a jet pack romance. But given the time constraints of this class and my recent 103 fever that will just have to wait.

moving on


Dude I thought I understood action scripting but just take a look at this bull shit:






I know right?
The weakest shit ever.
I know Im using the right lingo as far as functions go because essentially they're doing what I want them to do but I can't control and finesse them to my or Jill's standards (mostly Jills).
For instance the Ghost works and becomes more transparent and ghosty when rolled over, but the fierce ninja, when rolled over, doesn't disappear like he's supposed to. Instead, he just flashes like girls gone wild. Which I guess is kinda fresh and definitely looks menacing. But I wasn't going for menacing... I was going for elusive.
And lord only knows that the hell is going on with that fucking head.
He's supposed to rotate more and more each time you press on him. Instead....well...you've seen.

The x and y didn't work either. I tried to set them to the ninja so when you clicked on him he would dodge you. but instead he got too carried away and would just blast to the far right of the screen no matter what number I put in for the coordinates.

I think it's safe to say I at least know how not to action script.


stay up.

Rock






Lets see.
I had to redo every bit of animation i had before because the first time my alignment was off. Now that it's on my site it still seems I have some white space.... but that could be HTML fucking with me,

I used the Shape tween and masking techniques to create the doorway to porn. That gave me some difficulties but i persevered and worked my way through them.

As for the content coming out of the door. I didn't want anything too x rated and awesome because i do plan on showing this to my momma some day. however i did manage to have a golden dinosaur come out of the door that maybe somewhat resembles a penis.

Assignment write up! (sorry jill)









So I started animating my animation! I was a little scared at first. I called my mom she gave me some much needed encouragement. See when she was growing up she didn't have things like the internet or animation, so I should be thankful and man up and start motion tweening.

I plan to have a lot more going on than what I got so far.

Basically what I got so far is a landscape with Clouds moving and a Jet Pack Kid flying around and having a blast.

I had some trouble working with the guide layers. My rocketeer would snap on to the line created.. but not follow it. It was pretty frustrating. Also when he did follow it he didn't folllow it with his head leading. so he looked goofy. Also something was off when I imported it i think? My .swf file is showing what's going on out of the viewing area.

All in all I'm happy with how it's turning out.

1)What is the difference between a symbol and a instance?

A Symbol is an original object. It's like the daddy and the instances of that symbol are like his beautiful children, they have the share the same amount of strain on the program, and even look the same. Thats why if you alter the daddy symbol (i.e digitally kick him in the nuts) his baby's will change too.

2)what is the difference between a frame that has a empty circle or a difference between a frame with a black circle?

An empty circle is a blank keyframe. It's completely empty. While a Black circle frame is a Keyframe. You use keyframes to acknowledge points in a certain time frame. For instance to have a Jet Pack Kid move from one side of the screen to the other I would use two keyframes. One where he is positioned on the left side of the screen and the other key frame where he's positioned on the other.


3)What are two of the main reason's people use flash?

1: to get chicks
2: Because you can animate easily for the web.
3: It uses vector imaging so you can directly work with your Illustrator Files


4)You can only motion tween a symbols!

5)How can you tell the differne between a shape and a symbol
When you select a symbol a box shows up around the outside of it. However when you select a shape it looks all static-y with no box around it.

Revised

Check it.






I kept the taste the same I just changed a couple of ingredients.

Before I was using kroger brand now Im using the name brand expensive stuff.


Analogies aside, I changed the warp pipes to go along with the piping I illustrated earlier. I kept them green because they went well with the color scheme I had going on.

The main thing that was upsetting me before was the ground.
I was going to have it look like a circuit board but i thought that would be....penis (spent 3 minutes trying to come up with a better word....and failed)

Instead I decided to go with the multi texture/ media that seems to be the strength of my piece. So I tore up some paper and water colored it and scanned it to make a stone like texture. I have an arsenal of metaphors for this decision if my concept is in danger of being questioned....so back off. But mainly I just thought it was something that was aesthetically pleasing.


The Mario sky is staying. I tried some other options but i just liked this one the best. I think it's because it was one of the first elements I added and thusly* determined the color scheme from there on out.






* hell yeah thusly is a word
