Week 11

Flash Portfolio: Discussion

Over the course of the semester, honestly I have to say that using flash has been a struggle. Now that I am putting together my portfolio, I am a little more confident with the navigating of flash, but it seems like it's too little too late! I am very confident in using buttons and functioning them to skip to different frames and I've tried to use buttons to the best of my ability seeing as they seem to be the thing that I am most competent at. I am struggling with an overall theme for my portfolio because I am not really that gifted in using animation tools on flash.
I sat for hours trying to figure out how to create a mask in and fade out image gallery for my portfolio but seems as though I just couldn't get it! So I decided to use my skills that I had with buttons and create an image gallery that just skipped frames and went back to the home page after it had finished sliding its images.
After finishing my portfolio I feel more confident now going into my hyper textual essay as I feel like I have the formatting down for a functioning flash web site. I' hoping to try and incorporate more visual aesthetic to my next creative project!!
