Lesson 5

Homework:

Modify one of the website shells I showed you today. Spend at least an hour playing with it.

Create a file that has at least 2 functions in it... they can be simple:

function addTen(num:Number):Number{
return num+10
}

like that....^

Lesson 3

Homework:

There are 2 options for the homework:

1) play with class files, save multiple variations ... to show that you experimented with them. An example would be making a ball bounce off the top of the page instead of the bottom...

2) use the techniques we've covered in flash to create an interesting website navigation... this could be as simple as the arrow example from class... or you could try to take it to the next level by combining techniques we've covered to create something new.

Feel free to do both 1 and 2.... (optional)

Lesson 2

Homework:

Part 1:
Use targeting... either create a character (using the same logic as our forward kinematics arm demo) or use targeting in a creative way (like the unicycle example from class).

E-mail me if you have any questions.

Part 2 (optional but highly recommended)

As the class progresses its going to be important that you have the fundamentals that we're covering under your belt... this means, understanding button event:s

onPress, onRelease, onReleaseOutside, onRollOver, onRollOut

How to make a loop:

onEnterFrame

Targeting:

upper_arm.forearm.hand

and of course... properties:

myClip._x
myClip._y
myclip._xscale
etc... etc...

Take some time to review the class files from the first 2 lessons... if you have questions about the files write them down and bring them to class (also feel free to e-mail me). Spend some time with these concepts.. think about how you might apply them to real world situations...
