Flash: MP3 Player


This was really fun to do. I first created the sound bars, which are pretty cool. Then I added buttons to play sound clips. After I added a stop button. It is like a really, really low-tech MP3 player.

Flash: Sound Bars



This is really fun to make and I really like how you can easily change the bars into anything you want. Even though the bars move randomly, it can look as if it goes to some music.

Flash: Space Ship Game



After working so long with actionscript, I finally finished creating a game with Flash. When you press 'play' you can use the arrow keys to move the ship and space bar to fire lasers at the enemy spaceship.

Flash: Space Ship 2



In this animation I edited the spaceship so that it moves up and down more realistically by using the arrow keys. I was able to do this by using actionscript.

Flash: Space Ship



In this animation I made a spaceship simply by using the rectangle tool and then I uses actionscript to make it move. If you use the arrow keys you can move the ship up, down, left, or right. By using the 'Key.isDown' function, it opens so much more opportunity for flash.

Flash: Mouse (Pencil)


In this animation I did the same this as the previous, but then had to do a lot more with actionscript in order to make it draw stuff when you click on the mouse.

Flash: Mouse


In this animation I first created this mouse pointer using flash tools and then was able to do the rest with Actionscript.

Flash: Rollover


This is a really cool animation in which you can rollover each circle with your mouse and it will do something. I'm planning on making a more intricate one when I have time.

Flash: Traced Bitmaps 2



In this animation I traced multiple bitmaps and then added some simple animations to make it more interesting. Just press Enter to start or pause the animation.

Flash: Traced Bitmaps



In this animation I took a picture and then used the tool "Trace Bitmap". It then takes the picture and replaces the colors with natural 'Flash colors', instead of the regular picture. Finally I added a background to it by adding gradients.

Flash: Key Frame Animation 2



In this animation, I did the same as the frog animation that I posted earlier on. It is only different frames put together to make the animation. Then I added some other effects to make it not so boring.

Flash: Color Fill



This is an example of how you can use Flash to color objects and to make black and white pictures look really nice.

Flash: Gradients



In this animation I used the gradient tool along with the oval tool, and nothing else really.

Flash: Key Frame Animation


In this animation I used only seperate frames to make this. I did this by tracing a frog figure from a pre-drawn image and then placing each frog on a different frame.

Flash: Stars Array



In this animation, though it may seem like one of my previous ones, it is way different based on the Actionscript.

Flash: Bouncing Balls



I used Actionscript to create this animation and was able to make it so that each ball has a different position and speed.

Flash: Wrap With Actionscript



In this animation I used only Actionscript(noticing a pattern here?) to make the balls move down the screen and then wrap in order to do it again, and again, and again.

Flash: Ball Positioning 2


Again another simple animation. I learned some more about Actionscript and what goes on that we don't see.

Flash: Ball Positioning


This is another simple animation. I positioned these balls with actionscript and that's about it.

Flash: Bouncing Ball 2



This is animation is almost the same as the other "Bouncing Ball" animation that I created, but I added another movieclip (Pacman) and a background.

Flash: Center MovieClip



This was another animation that I forgot to post. Again (besides creating the bee) I only used Actionscript to make the bee in the exact center of the stage.

Flash: Screen Wrap



In this animation I used Actionscript to make the bee move and make it 'screen wrap'. I made this a while ago, but forgot to post it.

Flash: Bouncing Ball



In this animation I used all the previous information I learned about Actionscript to create this. It is not a loop, rather it always move based on the position of the ball. I was able to make this by using the coordinate system again and 'if' statements.

Wednesday, January 12, 2011


This animation is almost the same as the previous one that I created, but this time I was able to make the ball wrap instead of disappearing. I was able to do this again only with actionscript.

Flash: Actionscript


This is another very, very simple animation. I used only actionscript for this one and I was able to make the ball move without doing any tools, only with words. If you missed the animation (it's really short) just refresh the page.

Flash: Coordinate System


In this very simple animation, I learned about the Flash Coordinate System and how to place movieclips anywhere on the stage by using actionscript.

Flash: Rotating Lines



In this animation created this almost enitirely from the actionscript. It's really cool because after getting the actionscript right, all I had to do was edit my movieclip and then the animation was complete. I can do a lot more if I edit the movieclip to do some other stuff.

Flash: Moving Star Field



For this animation I took a almost everything from the previous "Star animation" that I did, I just edited /added on to the Actions.

Flash: Random Star Placement



This animation is almost completely based on Actions. I first made the length and height of the frame different and made the background color black. Then I made a movie clip (a star) and that was the basis for the entire animation. All that I did next was to edit the Actions with a lot of different variables and such, until I created this. Now everytime this picture is opened up, it will be a random placement of stars in varying sizes.
