flash media

Flash media was an interesting program to learn. It took lots of time and careful instructions. I swear our class would scream “Mr. Pickett!” every 2 seconds. The hardest part, although there were many difficulties, was being able to make everything work together. For example, I did not know how to put in a background and what exactly key frames would do to your project. Fortunately our teacher was very helpful and was always there to aid us during lunch, after school, and in class. However, if I were to change anything about my flash animation, I would probably change my idea. Even though my idea was original, I would have liked to make my animation more entertaining. My idea was a train going by each season of the year and my tween was a smoke cloud coming out every 5 seconds or so. My background music was a train sound, I could have picked a song or something but I felt a train sound was more appropriate. However, I am very happy with my end result, especially because at the end I had a better understanding of how to use macromedia flash.
