Attack of the Flashing Tomatos

Been having to think about attacking an online demo in Flash at work recently. Spent a lot of time reading some of the Flash tutorials and figuring out how I would go about it. The biggest thing is understanding how to make the text transitions. It's not TO bad... but can be tedious. I found some easier ways to do things, and thought I should make a test to see how I would do. So, if anyone would like to learn something about me... clicking on the previous link will play a real simple flash animation I made. Please note... I am new to this... so don't flog me for using so many transitions. I am just trying to learn how to use the tool.

I am pretty happy with how it turned out... except for the sound merging. IT SUCKS. Instead of making a huge single mp3, I tried to use the loops and cut it down with two separate sections, one with trumpet and one without. The transitions for that suck. I need to read up a bit more on how to make that work.

On a different tangent... I am finding myself reading other people's blogs a lot. It is getting to be a morning ritual. Grab my water, go sit at the computer, and start loading. Get disappointed as to the frequency of some blogs, and find others to be entertaining every day. SOME people eat way to many weird things before bed and have psyco dreams which is a hoot... while others think Wiki is the way to blog. (*Yer a sicko dude*) :)

Anyways... I am unofficially calling November BLOG MONTH. As such, everyone should try to maintain their blog every other day... or better. Lets make my morning ritual more interesting... and entertaining!
