GDES2000: After Flash Self-Driven Workshop Thoughts

Hi all [Andystevo group], if you're reading this then you'll have seen my mail linking you to the various tutorials and resources regards the flash reminder workshop.. Most [if not all] of the elements involved in the workshop will have been covered in year 1 in your multimedia intro module - as there's been a gap though you may be a bit rusty - hence the reminder tut/workshop! Once completed, I'd like you each to answer the following as a 'comment' by 6pm Weds 29th Feb:

Firstly [your name]

1. Did you manage to complete the step by step Image Gallery tutorial in Flash CS5.5?
  • 1a. If "yes" then did you do it all in one go or in little chunks?
  • 1b. If "no" then please explain as best possible what the issues were that stopped your progress.
2. Once you'd set up one scene in Flash then there was much duplication after that to create the other scenes/pages. Using this same logic of duplicating scenes [albeit with different content in each..] do you think that you might be able to create your own slideshow or step by step story or similar for your brief?

3. Last year's cohort used a mix of Flash and Javascript interactivity to achieve the wants of their briefs - what methods do you think you may use at this moment with the multimedia elements of your briefs this year?
