My final project for Intermediate Flash. I had to create a project where one could change properties on an object using buttons. You had to change the position of the object constantly while a button was pressed, as well as transparency (alpha). You also had to demonstrate turning the object's visibility off and on via buttons, as well as resetting everything. I chose to drive a little Pac Man around, because that was the first thing that popped in my head when I started doing the project. You can drive him with the directional arrows that are around the "joystick", adjust his alpha with the arrows there, toggle his visibility off and on using the faux-checkbox I made, and reset everything. Bonus stuff I did was make him respond to arrow keys (you have to click inside the movie first before it will respond to them, and some other trickery to make the checkbox seem like a toggle.
A couple of months ago when Myron Cope shuffled off this mortal coil, I thought it proper to link to some sound bites. I guess it's because I thought of him primarily as a radio personality that I didn't consider checking Youtube. Sweet Jesus, that was a mistake! This video, which I can only assume was meant to make me excited for Pittsburgh Pirates baseball, came to my attention a couple of days ago. It's probably not safe for work. Or home. Or.... anywhere, really. Don't say you weren't warned.
