Hi Everyone,
Once again, I really enjoyed class on Wednesday. I know this is not easy stuff and that it can sometimes be frustrating, but it seems to me that all of you are actively really trying to figure things out. This is what is important, not whether you get it right 100% of the time. I don't want to run this point into the ground, but it's worth mentioning again, so good for you. The main thing you should take out of this class is learning how to figure this stuff out, when you have an error or a problem that you want to solve, how is it that you go about figuring out how to do that.
With that point in mind, I want everyone to bring whatever text you have purchased to class this week. If you do so, you will receive the equivalent of a homework of credit. The main thing you need, the first piece of ammunition in your arsenal, the first tool you should have in hand when confronting the enemy of script errors is a reference text, so please make sure you get one and bring it to class. We may not have had a need to use it yet, but we will, I promise. Things do get more demanding in this class.
I'm sorry for posting this so late, but I figured two things: first, I told you what I wanted you to do for me for class next week; and second, it's a holiday weekend and so I'm sure you all understand if it has taken me a bit longer than usual to post. Enjoy your Memorial Day.
Carter-
- WEEK 3
- Classwork
- LINK class file
- Homework
- Exercise 1: Using the file that I send you during class-time, with a working script that makes the movieclips work as buttons (this we did in class), make the FIVE BUTTONS load the FIVE EXTERNAL FILES (one.swf, two.swf, three.swf, etc) into the index when the buttons are CLICKED ON.
- Exercise 2: Remember to come in to class on Wednesday with an idea for your final project. This should include a basic mockup in the computer or drawn (NOT a 30-second sketch) and colored on a piece of paper. Use arrows or a storyboard to explain how the interactivity (when the user does things) might change the look of the page. Also, if you come in with some references to other sites with aspects that you like and would like to do this term, please do. Make decisions now even if you think you may change your mind later. Be prepared to stay a few minutes after class to discuss your ideas with me.
- Exercise 3: Come to class with your text, and remember, this can be any text that you think best, just make certain you have a reference. Bringing this and showing it to me will be the equivalent of a homework grade.
