Button Button! Whose got the button!

For some reason, like many other aspects of this project, the ability to create buttons has eluded me.  I have watched all of the videos, followed all instructions, and yet, still, I am missing something.  My button will light up, but never switch screens.  I haven't even made it past the trial button, so my game prototype remains a hopeless mess.  My Googling attempts are thwarted, so for now, I must write this update and continue to fight the great flash battle.

Other Required Post

I have enjoyed the chance to jump  back in flash, though I am not certain why they have us doing the same process again.  Many of the questions asked are redundant, but I think I am getting used to that.  Hopefully, more flash interaction will follow soon, for I enjoy drawing scenes and figuring out codes.

Required Post

Write about your game topic. Is there anything new you've learned about it since you last wrote about it? Has there been an interesting post from a blogger, or article you've found on a similar topic?

No.  I have not learned anything new about my topic, for this assignment wasn't about learning something new about my topic.  My information remains the same, though I was happy for a chance to physically start my game on Flash.

Videos Everywhere!

We just finished writing, planning, and recording the presentation on our paper prototypes, and, yet, we're on to the next activity.  Of course, another video.  As if it didn't take us long enough to upload our first video, now we have to upload one to our blogs.  It's a horrible idea.  I would rather just copy and paste the script of my video, for it makes life much easier.  Oh well.  Expect a dreadfully dull video soon...

Video

After five thousand video malfunctions, we have our videos made. I have made mine three times, but due to technical difficulties (improper memory, improper format, etc.).  Luckily, three days and three tries later, we have the videos created in a proper format.  Now, all that is left to do is to upload them to Viddler and post them.  With our current luck and rate, this will probably take three more days, but hopefully not.

Paper Prototype

My game design has been successfully filled out on paper.  It was quite beneficial to actually plan out step-by-step everything I plan on doing.  Unfortunately, I was unable to film because our camera refuses to cooperate.  I am bringing in my personal camera (Canon Vixia HD) on Tuesday, for there is no school on Monday.  That way, I can ensure my filming will be a high quality success.

Busy Busy

This week is spirit week at our school, and as student body president, I have a large role in planning and organizing everything.  Between planning everything and my other activities, I am finding it quite hard in this class to keep up on all of my information.  To me, the system seems a bit redundant.  I have to repost everything I initially posted to other sources, making the assignments more tedious.  With all the updating of the system that I do, I have slipped bit by bit.  Luckily, I have the ability to log on at home and update my logs and blogs.  If the system were simpler, it would certainly make life easier, and I would have a bit more time to finish everything (not to sound pompous, which I know it did).
