Flash (but not the superhero)

       Hello out there to all seven of my viewers. It has been a while since I have posted but that is mainly because my instructor was going through some hard times and hasn't been back since spring break. Thankfully he is back now and things are starting to get as close to normal as they can.

       Anyway, Flash! It is a great program for doing all kinds of animation stuff (why in web design? I have no clue.) But it is another adobe program that lets you do all kinds of cool stuff. I am still trying to find all of that cool stuff. 

       In this project I had to create a scene of a house with mountains in the background. After that I was told to create a sun, cloud, and bird. Those are the main animations in the scene. Flash is somewhat tricky because in this you have to make almost every frame. Thankfully there are short cuts that allowed me to make the animation go from one spot to the next without making all of the frames over and over again.

       Next are the little secrets that I have hidden in there just for you. If you click on the chimney and the land octopus they will also animate. They were both turned into 'buttons,' which is what they are called in flash. I am going to give a link mainly because SWF files do not work so well on this site.

I am running out of time and words so...
