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.

Week Three Homework

In the spirit of the season make an interactive valentines day card. The file you turn in should fulfill the requirements listed below:

  • Add at least one movieclip dynamically (added by instantiating it with the "new" keyword and adding it to the stage with addChild)
  • Make the movieclip interactive with at least one event (mouse or if you are feeling adventurous keyboard) using addEventListener.
  • Use the enterframe event (Event.ENTER_FRAME) to affect a different property of the movieclip
  • Use the tween class to affect yet another property of the movieclip.

Feel free to have multiple movieclips each taking care of a different requirement listed above, or combine all of the interaction into one and anything in between.

Use text, images found on the internet, or draw your own assets to make something truely heartfelt and special.

That being said, the most important part is fulfilling the above requirements, bonus points if you make something you'd be willing to send around to your friends and family. (something I'll show you how to do next class).

This is essentially the same assignment as following along in the book, it just asks you to use your own assets and gives you a relavant theme to follow.
