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.

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.
