Welcome to our web log for the Fresno City College graphic communications program (grc). We are involved with web design, Flash animation, digital video, multimedia, graphic design, and hands-on instruction in the professional software used in the creation of these projects. Our motto is "If it's fun, we do it. If we're not doing it yet.... we want to".

Gee, I wish we could learn more about ActionScript!
Could you possibly go into more detail for the "Fun with blank movie clips" project.
I am confused at how it works.
On the "Fun with blank movie clips" do you want us just to use any random picture or are you going to provides with some pictures to use. And yea some more ActionScript would be awesome. =)
Hi Folks,
I will run through a little example of the "fun with movie clips" project. In essence, you take a handful of photos or illustrations and convert them to .swf files with numbers. Throw them all in a project folder.
Create the master page with a button and the code from the handout. Tell the code how many photos are in the photo and of course, you have to create a blank movie clip and drag it to the stage.
You will instruct the blank movie clip by addressing it's instance name. This is critical.
When you click the button, the next .swf file is incrementally loaded into the blank movie clip on the stage.
In my example, I also built a white fader at the front end of the file.
Demo on Thursday.
Thanks for the input.
Jose, I sent you an email last night answering this question from my cell phone.
You can use any (pg13) images, but don't steal them from the web. You could create images in a software program, or you could use royalty free images as well as shoot/scan your own.
How would you use the Blank Movie clips on the internet? Would you upload the .swf's to the the same directory in the web space as the Main swf file? will it still work like that?
Hi Eddie,
Thanks for the comment. Yes, if you put the whole folder up at the site, you can maintain "relative" links within the folder, and life is great.
Best,
Craig
