Final thoughts!

Overall, i'm happy with how it turned out, and I feel like i've learnt some new components of flash even though I used a different coding! It's been an interesting process, and I would love to keep learning flash... maybe one day i'll be able to wrap my head around AS3 and create something incredible and awesome! (I looked at a few flash sites for inspiration that awestruck me)

http://www.2advanced.com/

I really like how this website is set out, I like menu at the bottom that pops up when you hover over something (like the preferences link) and I especially like the images. This is something i'd love to work towards... in the very far future most likely!

P.S I changed my word document to a pdf as suggested and changed the coding to find it, when I tested it the page crashed so i'm not sure if it worked or if it doesn't accept it. Either way, its just a test document at the moment until I have a useful resume.

audio and parts of my site

I did put audio on my buttons in the flash file, but personally I find it annoying when sites have sound, so my volume is always off.
In retrospect I wish I hadn't just gone ahead and made my site based on the coding I used in my last flash class, but my thoughts when I started were if I get it done now, I have more time to work on other projects. That was the advantage of using the same coding as last time, but the advantages of using the code given in this class would be that I could have text descriptions on my gallery page. I didn't want to go through and change everything again though, because I already put all this effort into it!! I still haven't received a reply from Luis about the action script I would need.

link to scah

figured I should keep the link here...

new page

I wasn't going to have a video page (because this is my portfolio, and i've never worked with video) but I didn't realise we had to make one.... so I put in an extra page, so I have 5 links, rather than 4, only because I figure I can delete it later... or keep it depending on how my independent studies movie works out!!









this is the page.. with 2 random videos in it at the moment from youtube. It doesn't have the buttons bar cause I just did a screenshot of the swf. I just realised that I have to change the order of the buttons because the colouring on this page links to the colouring on the resume page.... but i've accidently put it as the last button. It's probably not something anyone will notice straight away but ah well.
Also i'm having trouble getting hold of Luis, so I haven't been able to add any description text to my gallery page.
