Took me quite a while to finish it, and I’m still not 100% satisfied of course, but here is my Flash 4 exercise. If only I had used a better camera the photos would have turned out a little nicer. I’m eager to learn to make some more exciting looking buttons too.
CNN.com has a cool Flash peice on the new Air Bus A380 that just took its first trip across the Atlantic. It can hold up to 500 passengers and some airline execs are talking about cruise-ship style planes in the next generation of flying machines. But check it out for yourself!
I wish I had digital cable. I don’t, but Nick does, and he drew my attention to Current, a cable television station dedicated to high-quality viewer-created journalism stories. The station has a Web site that offers all the content aired on TV to their online viewers. Current strongly encourages high ethical standards in the creation of their content, but acknowledge that citizen journalism is the direction the media is heading, if it hasn’t already taken that turn. The stories are thought-provoking and entertaining. It’s my new favorite Web site, and definitely worth a look.
Although its a few months old, this article from the Poynter Institute came from my Problems and Ethics in Journalism professor. It’s 100 percent relevant to me and my classmates, and to any “citizen journalists” who contribute via blogs and online content. Enjoy!
Just finished my second flash exercise. I’m pretty proud of it, especially that none of the images were imported. All were drawn by hand in the Flash program. I was having a little trouble with the LSU button. It seemed I could stop and start the tiger flash portion with the button, but I only want to be able to start it. I checked my Action Script and everything seems fine. It’s driving me a little CRAZY! Any suggestions?? Thanks and enjoy!
