flash

the flash aimation that we covered in class today was a good refresher coarse, after a year of web design and graphic design its nice to get back to the program that i was learning in yr11. While I am sure that director has many advantages, I do fail to understand how it could be advantagous to favor it in first yr when, as I understand it even the company that makes it is discontinueing it in favour of the industry standard, Flash.

In any case we have covered basic controls, preferences and some animation, in particular motion tweening and animation following paths. It is amazing how fast you forget some of these simple things after a break from the program. One very interesting thing that we did in flash the other day was to put actual video through flash, using it to clip the video into a suitable portion, this could be very useful in flash websites, especially short term collaborations with animation students and tv proddies.
