Week 4 - Monday COAP 2110

Theme: Basic interactivity

Introduction to buttons and some ActionScript

Wednesday - Mid term

  • creating slide shows (timeline navigation) with buttons

Homework 4

For those who already turned in 3 homework and wish to have a break: I suggest skipping this one. I will not test button creation in the final. Do homework 5 which is more important.

Assignment

Create a really complex button and that includes well done graphics and/or animations. In addition, create 2 minor variants of the same button. To do so: duplicate then rename the button you created first (right-click in the library).

Reuse of prior homework
  • If you wish you can use your previous homework (in any way you like), e.g. include each animation as swf file in a different frame. But this is by no means an obligation nor does it have an influence on grading.
Submission date and format
  • To be returned by Monday, at start of week 6 lesson
  • Use the following Flash file name project4-familyname-firstname.fla, e.g.
project4-miller-joe.fla
... I must be able to distinguish these files and we want to avoid overwriting.
Other constraints
  • Reuse of objects: 1/3 must be drawn by yourself, max. 1/3 imported but customized, max. 1/3 imported as is. (So you also can do everything by yourself).
  • You must fill in a document description using the same template as in homework 1.
  • Homework projects are individual. If you work with others, make sure that the individual projects differ, i.e. the "reuse of objects" criteria above apply.
  • If you reuse old homework, make sure that certain errors are fixed (e.g. use only a single non-editable object in a motion tween)
Evaluation criteria

Same as before (include late submission policy). You can examine the grading rubric in the world classroom.

The document description

Your p4-xxx-xxx.fla file must include a document description.

  • Enter a title and description
  • See the template
