You've been Flashed!
Apr. 20th, 2010 08:31 pmSo I'm working on my final project for my Flash class, and it's really like putting together a puzzle: I'm assembling my efforts from previous weeks and trying to turn them into something shiny and cohesive. Of course, we have requirements (have to use at least 2 of our previous assignments plus embed audio, have a title area, a text area for the work that's being loaded, and have a viewing area for the visual assets), but generally it's pretty free-form.
So far I think I'm doing okay, except for the audio...for some reason, mine keeps loading whenever I test the movie, rather than when I press the Play button in my control area. I've made sure the Play and Stop buttons work, and they do, but the audio still starts up on its own when the whole file loads. I have Mute and a Volume Max buttons too, but they don't seem to do anything, despite using the same ActionScript that we used for a previous interface for audio:
on (press) {
test.setVolume(100);
}
and
on (press) {
test.setVolume(0);
}
Anyone know enough Flash to tell me what I'm doing wrong here? If I at least get this figured out, then I think I can focus on the more aesthetic parts and extra information, along with getting last week's lab to load properly (that was way more confusing than this final project).
I seem to remember one of my former co-workers from CSUN making an awesome web design in Flash...she must have had a knack for it (or a really good professor or a fabulous textbook or all three)! I wish I had asked her more about it then!
