Sigh...

I suck at Flash...

Ok, problem of the week. I have an assignment due. I've started it, but am stuck. Here's what I have to do (per the professor):


1. Create an animation that sends the bone into the scene where it will then turn into the hubble.

2. Then, add the sound file "space.wav" to Scene 1 of the animation so that the sound is synchronized with the animation. By that, I mean that the transition from bone to spacecraft happens when the music becomes loudest.

3. Make the button in Scene Two draggable (and it must stop dragging when released.)

4. Add another animated button of some kind to the second scene that goes to frame 1 of the movie.

Those are my instructions. I know it doesn't make sense, but if you download the attached zip file, it will. The zip file has two files, my fla so far and the wav file. I've created the animation for step 1. What I am having trouble with is the sound. I've tried adding it per the notes from class, but it just wasn't working. I could get the sound to play, but only AFTER the scene had already played through once. Weird. Could someone have a look? I MIGHT be able to finish on my own if I can get through the sound part. Can someone explain to me what I have to do here?

Thanks!

File didn't attach. It was too big. Here's a URL to download the zip file...

It's about 200K total.

PS. I am using FLASH MX 2004 Professional if that matters.

Ok, I got the sound synchronized properly (I think).

I made the button draggable, too. I forgot to say that the professor also wanted:
You should also add some background element to both scenes that adds to the movie.


Now, I need the background. Stuck again. How do I do this? It's gotta be simple...

The new, UPDATED fla file is here:

Ok, scratch all that... I got it done. Do me a favor, though someone...

Go to http://www.bartlett-family.net/chris/flash/assignment4 and view the Flash piece.

First of all, let's keep the laughter to a minimum. I warned you that I suck at this... :p

Secondly, reading the criteria above, do you think I met them all? I THINK I did, but am looking for reassurance. Doesn't really matter, though. It has already been submitted to the professor. Just wanna know for my own satisfaction.

Chris

LMAO

Not laughing at the file, waiting for that to load. I'm laughing at this thread.. hehe.

Well, says the page can't be displayed or I'd tell you what I thought of it.

Ok, DNS is fixed. http://www.bartlett-family.net/chris/flash/assignment4

Reading the necessary criteria above, does this assignment meet it in your opinion?
