Working in Flash


What is hard for me are the steps of all the demos. The steps are a little hard for me because there is a lot of steps and I don't even know if I remember all of theme. When I am learning something one day and the next day i learn something else, that just confuses me a lot because I skip this step, I don't do this step right, or I just don't know what to do in this step. And when I work on multiple things I do this thing wrong and I mix that thing up with this thing and I get frustrated when that happens. What we can do to be more comfortable in class while working in flash is learn something one day then practice it for like 1-2 days then learn something else and do the same thing with that. Some people, like me, just learn something and if its confusing we need to practice it and then learn something new. Its important to remember the coding process in flash because if you don't, what ever you are working in I can guarantee that it will come out messed up. No lie. Some people don't listen in class and they miss instructions so when they try to do the flash it turns out to be wrong and messed up. What I will do to make sure I have all the training I need to become a flash expert is to listen when Ms. miller is giving instructions and follow along with her when we are doing something in flash. If I do these two simple steps, I will become a flash expert. If and when I complete this I will work in flash when I need to in the futre. in this class there are so many distractions that keep me from laerning to do all the steps from the flash. if it was a much more muchure group we will probably get every thing done on time and we would not stop every 5 minutes and not do anything. what can be done to this problem is reward the person that is the quitest at the end of the day or something else. some people are just so inmitchure and throw things arround, yell across the room and they just act like if they are in pre-k. i feel that the video tutorials are helpful because they explain the steps really clearly and i can acually understand what we are doing and how to do it.

The Time Shannon Sullivan Came to Visit


SHANNON SULLIVAN CAME TO OUR GLOBALARIA CLASS ONE DAY AND SHE TOUGHT US HOW TO UPLOAD OUR FLASH FILES INTO OUR WIKIS. SHE ALSO TOUGHT US HOW TO TURN OUR FLA FILES TO SWA FILES. SHE TOUGHT US HOW TO UOLOAD MULTIPLE FILES INTO THE WIKI. THE SHANNON WAS A NICE LADY. SHES SMART TOO. WHAT I LEARNED FROM HER VISIT AND INSTRUCTIONS WAS HOW TO CONVERT MY FLA FILES TO SWA FILES AND HOW TO UPLOAD MULTIPLE FILES AT THE SAME TIME. SHE GAVE US INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO ALL OF THESE SUFF. IF I HADE A SHORT WAY TO TEEL YOU HOW TO DO ALL OF THIS I WOULD TELL YOU. HGOW I FEEL ABOUT FLASH NOW THAT I KNOW SOME ADDITIONAL WAYS TO UPLOAD MY FILES IS THAT I CAN NOW TRUST MY WIKI TO SAVE ANYTHING ON IT. I CAN PROBABLY SAVE PCTURES, IM POSITIVE I CAN SAVE FLASH FILES IN TO THE WIKI, AND YOU CAN SAVE LIKE PROBABLY A LOT MRE TO THE WIKI. NOW THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT TURNING MY FLA FILES TO SWA FILES IS THAT I CAN MAKE WHATEVER I WANT AND SAVE IT AS A SWA FILE AND UPLOAD IT TO MY WIKI.

Drawing in Flash

in this project i did learn a new technique. i learned that you can do what ever you want in flash. you can animate things and people. you can also make things move the way you want it to. the subject in my game is about Cancer. I'm just going to tell you a little about the game. so... the game is about you in front of a caner hospital and getting people to donate money for people with cancer. you click on the person and ask if they want to donate money. if they say no they will walk away and another person comes by. if they say yes the give you the money they want to donate and then they leave. that's all i can tell you for now. you have to play the game to know more. well... what i learned sense i last wrote a blog entry is how to draw in flash. i really didn't know what flash was when i first got here. but now i know almost exactly what it is. flash is really fun because we get to draw in the computer. all i can say how i feel about flash is that it is........... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
