Welcome

Hello Class,

I'm excited to have the opportunity to close out your multi media education. During the 16 weeks of class we'll cover advanced topics such as setting up a working environment and writing code for applications, User Interface (UI), User Experience (UX), and Info Architecture (IA) best practices, and using the Flex framework to build Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). This blog will be used to post useful articles and resources, additional reading, and homework assignments. I'll announce homework at the end of each class and post the assignment here after class.Please send homework to the email I supplied in class and give the following subject line: MM3 HW#N where n is the week number.

Flash File

Let's all thank Yegor for offering up his homework as an example.  Remember the interesting / important parts of the code here:
  • Using addChild to add one displayObject (MovieClips are a kind of displayObjects remember) to another allowing us to set the properties for the "parent" displayObject to affect the child
  • Yegor's use of the timer class was also commendable.  It's not something we covered in class but it shows that you can go out on your own, and with a little googling, get the effect you want.
  • Coupling all of the property changes into a single event.  Remember - Yegor had a different listener set up for each heart.  During class we combined all of those into one single listener. 
I saved the file as a CS4 doc.  Not sure what you are all working with at home.  Get the file here
Happy coding!
