Actionscript

Salam and Hello to everyone,

First of all, it's been awhile for me not posting any entry...why? because my motherboard just crushed (that explained a lot about the sudden shutdown when i'm in the middle of doing my work, argghh) and i was having problem installing Flash CS3 in my sister's notebook (another argghh)...but everything is fine now...thanks to Him...hrmmm...

Well, last 2 week, Dr Zaidatun gave u guys homework regarding the Basic of Actionscript...and to my surprised and Dr too, u guys did terrific...it seems like you guys are good at self learning and like to explore new things without spoon fed by Dr...

and last week u guys helped each other in completing the homework...and it's good to see when some of the students appraised their group members when they're finally able to do the homework...

and last week too, again Dr gave u homework about 'Multiple Choice Question' and 'Text Entry Question' activities...but, i do not see (up to this moment) any post regarding these 2 activities in your blog...why? are you having problem in doing it? or still looking for an idea? or busy with another assignment? or just save the post as a draft and not publishing it yet, or or or what? hahaha, i have just come out with too many assumptions on that....forgive me for that ok...haha...

Like Rafi, she said she's having problem in doing the MCQ and Text Entry activities. This is what she said:

Sekarang ni tengah buat MCQ's dengan text entry question.. bahagian text entry tu kenapa ntah die xdapat nak detect variable respon..patutnya letak jawapan betul keluarla respon correct.. tapi tetap gak die keluar incorrect.. xpaham kenapa die xjadik.check script betul dah..nape ek :(

Ha, anyone can help her in diagnose the problem?why it happened that way?

If you want to help her, what will be your first question to her?

If i am in your shoe, i would say, ok Rafi now please explain step by step on how you do the activity...and don't miss any steps...so that i might know the problem....will you?

and let us just see how far you can help each other in solving the problem...

BREAKING NEWS

People, Norzie had just solved the problem regarding the case sensitive on Actionscript yesterday night...previously, u guys only manage to key in lowercase letter...Now, with her help, u can have various style of answers...either UPPERCASE, lowercase, Sentence case, Capitalize Each Word or tOOGLE cASE...

Not forgotten, Ashikhin also manage to do it, but on her own way, because she is very good in programming, not like me...hehe...i admit that one...i don't like it at all...

Now, what are you waiting for? Don't just stare at my blog...go visit their blogs...sure worth to pay a visit there...

Thank you to you both...I LOVE THIS CLASS...love to see the efforts that u guys have made...

Cut-Out Animation

For the Cut-Out Animation, again i would like to share the problem encountered by Syakira...

But before that, this is my design, very simple one...i just wanna show how the rabbit kinda spinning after slipped on banana peel...




no need for you to add more keyframe and change the position of the rabbit...u can simply change the Rotate to CCW and set 3 as times for rabbit to rotate

easy pizzy right...

 

 Enough of that, back to Syakira problem...This is what she asks...

Macam mana nak buat Bunny tu pusing nampak realistik sikit? saya tak reti...mintak tunjuk ajar...TQ...

Click HERE to see her design...

So. in order to answer her question i made this one myself...hehe...

I know i know very simple one...but i want you guys to think and consider about these 2 things...

Is it the setting of the keyframe OR the rabbit picture that kinda flat which actually contribute to the problem?

Below is the keyframe setting for my design...

 

Think about this ok...and share your thoughts here ok...

Motion Guides

Remember when Dr Zaidatun mentioned that if you want to make the ants movement look realistic, you should add more keyframe and change the position of the ants...From your post, i can see some of you did add more keyframe and some didn't...

Well take a look on 2 pictures below:
 

 

When you add the motion at the ant layer, you will see there's one option 'Orient to path' appears at the properties section...


So my question is that, is it enough if one just ticks at the 'Orient to path' to make the ants movements look real OR is it one still needs to add more keyframe and adjust the position too?

If you can / can't detect the differences, please state here ok...

Another question, all this while we only used Pencil tool to draw the line/path thus the object can moves...Is it possible to make the line using Brush tool?Do you really think the ants can move along the path that being drawn using Brush tool?

If yes, why is it so?
If not, why is it so?

Well try it, you just sitting there anyway...hihi...

Got PROBLEM, place it HERE

Class, in this entry i would like you guys to post any problems or issues that you have encountered in Flash...

Apart from that, you too can ask for IDEAS here...let say you want to design something, but do not know where to start or how to do it, just let us now ok...your classmates are creative2 one...

And you know, i think it is better for you guys to start thinking about what to do for the Assignment 1...thus, you won't face much difficulties later...tak de la pening-pening nak cari idea kan...

For last week activity, some of your friends or perhaps u yourself have problems right...
But for now, i just want to highlight the following problem...
This is based on TRUE story ok, haha...
One of your classmates, Syakira had this puzzle in her mind...This was what she wrote in her blog...

MASALAH:

Antara masalah yang saya hadapi ialah untuk paint langit secara gradient. Warna biru berada di kanan dan memudar kepada warna putih di kiri padahal saya mahukan biru di atas dan memudar putih di bawah. Saya lakukan ini dengan cara memusingkan rectangle yang saya lukis. Apa cara sebenarnya untuk melakukannya? Any ideas, please...

Since no one ever responds to her problem, thus i bring the problem here la...so everybody can read and give opinion on how to solve the puzzle...

Please, who are among you guys can actually solve this using the right technique?
