MY IDEAS ABOUT MACROMEDIA FLASH IN THE FOURTH WEEK

IT IS ALMOST ONE MONTH OVER AFTER STARTING THE UNIVERSITY.HOW FAST THE TIME GOES...............I CANT IMAGINE THAT I SPENT FOUR WEEKS IN THE UNIVERSITY AWAY FROM MY PARENTS AND MY COUNTRY.

ANY WAY TODAY WAS THE FOURTH LECTURE OF THE MACROMEDIA FLASH LESSON.TODAY THE THEME OF THE LECTURE WAS MULTIMEDIA DESIGN TECHNIQUES.IN THIS LECTURE,THE LECTURER SHOWED US SOME POWER POINT SLIDES ON DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES USED IN MACROMEDIA FLASH.

THE PRESENTATION COVERED ABOUT THE TECHNIQUES SUCH AS TEXTS,FORMATS AND THE OTHER METHODS BY WHICH YOU CAN CRAEATE THESE FLASH ITEMS.FOR ME,SIMPLY THIS LECTURE WAS NOT THAT INTERESTING EITHER.MAY BE BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS EAGER TO WATCH ONLY THE MOVIE CLIP AT THE END OF THE LECTURE.HOWEVER THE LECTURER SHOWED US SOME EXAMPLES OF THE MOTION EFFECTS THAT THE WEB SITES CONTAIN AND THAT PART WAS QUITE INTERESTING FOR ME.I ALWAYS PREFER TO HAVE A LOOK AT THE LINKS THAT ARE ON THE POWER POINT SLIDES RATHER THAN LISTENING TO THE LECTURE OR ELSE READING WHAT IS THERE ON THE POWER POINT SLIDE.

THE MACROMEDIA FLASH CLIP THAT THE LECTURER SHOWED US THIS WEEK WAS ABOUT DARIO PIANA.THIS CONTAINS MANY VIDEO CLIPS AND THERE WERE FEW LINKS IN THE FRONT PAGE .SOME OF THESE LINKS WERE WHOIS,REELS AND ART WORKS.ALL THESE LINKS ARE LINKED TO VARIOUS OTHER PAGES AND USING THOSE LINKS YOU CAN VIEW SHORT VIDEOS AND CLIPS.THE LAY OUT OF THE MAIN PAGE WAS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THE LAY OUT OF THE USUAL WEB SITES.I LIKED THIS ALOT.

NOW LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE PRACTICAL SESSION OF THIS WEEK.THE THEME FOR THE PRACTICAL SESSION OF THIS WEEK WAS ABOUT SHAPE TWEEN.HERE WE DID HOW TO CHANGE A PARTICULAR WORD IN TO ANOTHER WORD WITHOUT CHANGING THE POSITIONS AND THE MODEL OF THE REST OF THE WORDS.FOR EXAMPLE WHAT WE DID WAS FIRST WE CREATED THE PHRASE PAGE ONE IN THE MAIN STAGE OF A NEW FLASH DOCUMENT.THEN WE INSERTED A NEW A KEY FRAME AND THEN CREATED AND PAGE TWO.THEN WE CREATED MOTION TWEEN BETWEEN THE GAP OF THE TWO BLACK DOTS.THEN BY USING THE SHAPE TWEEN METHOD WE CHANGED THE PAGE THE WORD ONE TO PAGE TWO.HERE THE WORD PAGE WAS KEPT WITH OUT ANY CHANGE AND THE WORD ONE WAS MADE TO DISAPPEAR WITH A DISSOLVING TYPE OF EFFECT SO THAT ULTIMATELY THE WORD TWO WAS ON THE SCREEN.EVEN IN THIS PRACTICAL SESSION I WAS NOT ABLE TO FINISH UP MY WORK WITHIN THE GIVEN ONE HOUR.BUT THIS TIME WHEN I WAS WALKING OUT OF TH LAB I STRONGLY MADE A DECISION TO PRACTISE ALL WHAT I HAVE DONE UP TO NOW DURING THE WEEK END.
