Things to Come

2006-08-18T10:12:00.000-07:00

One of the things that Cat and I disussed about our video app was adding a scrollable panel where we could store all tagged pieces of video. I've been working on this past week, also in order to make up for my functions homework which I didn't finish. Right now, it simply won't scroll...There is a change state on mouse over but the parameters I set for going over the "borders" of the container panel are not working. I had a bunch of funny pics to show from us working on Flash for our final :(

Cats blog has samples from the code. We are having issues w some things, including the timeline...As was emailed 2 Eric.

Cat and I worked on this together. Its based off the fly swatting game. We had a much cooler idea in mind about making a shooting game, except we had issues with counters in reference to change state. So look forward to our awesome shooting game in the future.

Game on:

As discussed, Cat and I are working together on functions for our site. Shawn was helping us install ffmpeg onto Cat's server yesterday. We are meeting today and will most likeyly discuss what we want to do and get started.. We discussed image manipulating, and particularily have an interest in tagging specific frames of video. We shall see how this turns out, but think it is feesible project for us for the next two weeks.

Feelings - Nothing More than Feelings

We are sticking with feelings (I went through all the samples but I thought this outcome was funny) - and I feel confident now to start expanding towards more complicated things and generating code rather then hacking examples towards the end of the week.

Feelings, wooo-oo feelings

Pretty much stuck to the code from Eric on this one...Reminds me of processing but I'm getting used to the environment more as well as scope which I've been working on a few examples of from week 4 that I'll post later today. Addballs, make them become flowers...

As previously I had the problem of FTP my work to put it online, it became apparent over the weekend that for some reason my Mac can not copy/paste ANYTHING. So we are going to the Mac store tomorrow to see what can be done. Unless someone knows how to enable copy/paste back on (I can't find it anywhere on my computer).

Class 1

I had my first class with Eric on Monday. We went through Flash environment pretty quickly which meant that as someone without prior Flash experience it took me a while to get used to the environment. I feel like Flash requires a lot of planning and thinking ahead. After a half a year of being immersed in programming last year its funny to have the extra step of drawing or planning out graphics ahead. Cat and I had definite intentions of taking this class because we are developing a mobile app and site that could could have potential uses of Flash. We're redesigning the site and have already discussed developing a short animation on the front page to better explain what Freeformed is about. Besides that there are a few other things that we are hoping use Flash for including image splicing to tag parts of cellphone video that users have sent to our site. I've also been spying on Flickr and wonder if their 'batching and grouping' of images has anything to do with Flash. It seems that there are infinite possibilities for the use of Flash but I agree that it seems overused a lot of times. So keeping in mind elegant execution we shall see what else we come up with for our site. Moving beyond Freeformed, I'm also excited to see what the real capabilities of Actionscript and Flash are beyond animation/site building.

This is my first little animation. Weee...Back to kindergarden. A friend is letting me borrow a drawing pad soon:

MonsterBlob

This is my second animation. I was working code here but did it wrong...So the same animation can be seen following it where code has been applied. I think I'll continue making anomation no.2 more interactive (um and prettier) bc right now it only activates on mouse over (the cloud). My one question is: how do I make the end result stay for a longer time so the full image can be seen for a while before the animation loops again?

Animation where code is not working:

NotSoCoolRain

Animation where code is working: CLICK Over the cloud to start the animation

CodeCity

My computer is messed up and I can't seem to FTP anything thus had to send everything to my friends computer to do so...Wonder what is going on.
