Flash, finally!
We started our new unit today, which is none other than Flash. Ahh, this is main reason that I took TIK 201, and I'm so excited that we finally got into it. Today was based on the basics of the program, and getting around with the tools with some examples of what we'll be able to do by the end of the semester. It's some pretty cool stuff, something that I've always wanted to get into, but never had the time or patience to fully understand and learn the 'schematics'.
We got into shapes, how to add text, what layers are all about, and what symbols and instances are. This stuff I knew all about, it's some of the things I'm more advanced with actually (since I use Photoshop), but knowing that we'll soon get into programming and animation is what keeps me going. Hopefully we can actually test some stuff out tommorow.
