16th May 2009...

Today i have linked all the videos to Flash.
I learned how to use rollover buttons and enhanced it into my work.

The action script for this is:

• Global Functions
• Browser/Network
• Duble Click - LoadMovie

Then:

• on (rollOver) {

loadMovieNum("Character Page.swf", 1);
}

• on (rollOut) {

unloadMovieNum(1);
}

This Allows you to Roll your mouse over the pictures to play the video, as soon as you roll over the video the video stops. As you cans ee there is "1" at the end of the actions script which allows the video to come on top of the page instead of it opening as a new page.

File Formats..

When i started creating my designs in Photoshops i saved the file twice after completing the page.
The first file format that i used was .psd. This is Adobe Photoshop, which i create the design in.
After i completed .psd (Adobe Photoshop) Design file, i then saved it as an image itself. Which then i saved it to a .jpg (JPEG).
After i did this for all the designs i left the pictures and Photoshop file in one folder.

Before i started my Flash Work i was told by my tutor Mark Towers that i had to crop all the images on every single design and save it as a .png (PING) file. This allows transitions, and effects to happen with transparency behind the image.
However when cropping few of the images i had realized that i couldnt save backgrounds as a .png so i saved it as a .jpg file.

Adobe Flash (11th May 2209)

I have been working on my flash work for Sonic The Hedgehog.
I realized that i didn't connect any of the buttons to the actual page so what i had to do was i had to re-open every single page and copy and paste from the ones that i actually connected it it.
This was a very hard task due to the fact that now i have in total various pages for every single character.
Now i am working on how to create a rollover button to create a videos page. This will be a very hard job but with the help of my class mate Becky i have learnt how to actually insert, import and use flash in the right way.
I also finished the last cropping which i had to do in order to complete all the cropping that i had. Vector was the last character. Ive also connect all the characters to the characters page, however i just have shadow and vector left to do.

Photoshop..Flash..

10th February: I started editing and cropping all the images that was created of Sonic The Hedgehog. I used the crop tool and also used many of the fx effects to make the characters stand out n unique. I designed various pictures which are all displayed in this blogger.com..

17th March: Continued on cropping all the images into .png files so that it could be added into Adobe Flash.

31st March: After Cropping all the images one by one into a .png file i ended up losing my USB, which contained all the work that i have been working on from September. Got a temporary USB to keep me going through the Easter Holidays

3rd - 19th April: Easter Holiday, did Marks Unit 58 Interactive Media Authoring. got few assignments outstanding to do which is the Plan for Unit 2 and Unit 59 Multimedia. there are also few other things that needs to be done as such as distincion task for Unit 60 and Unit 61.

20th April: Eater Break is over, started on the cropping again after losing most of the work. I re-designed few of the pages and also added effects on the ones that didn't have any effects. Also started on the Adobe Flash work. Learnt how to use Adobe Flash the same way i use Adobe Photoshop!

27th April: Continuing on with the flash work. Had to re-do it all because the canvas size was to small, so i changed it from 500 x 400 to 1280 x 1024. As you can tell the previous canvas was to small so when it came to editing all the .png files it were too big. After realizing i re-sized the canvas and placed everything easier.

7th May: Today all i did was continued on my Adobe Flash work..

I also Drew up my StoryBoard for my Unit 2 Plan. Scanned it in n saved it.. Shown below..

New Edits..!
