YAY MONDAY!!

Hello!!

So today is a very interesting day. I have been trying to figure out flash on my own without success, I finally asked Rebecca and Leslie to help me out. I love them both but they are TERRIBLE teachers. Rebecca would start showing me something and midway through her sentence she stops and stares at her screen very confused. I wait and wait and wait until I have to remind her that she was doing something. When I asked Leslie for some help she would stare at me, laugh and say that she doesn't understand what I want.

The girls explained to me the big picture and they had decided to break up the entire story so that each person works on a particular scene. My idea for my health scene is to make the player jump around moving bars to get to the refrigerator which has the best beverage to have right before bedtime (milk). I started to make my scene for the game and it took forever to make one bar move across the screen. I knew that there was an easier way so I asked Shannon and Itay. They very kindly reminded me that there are tutorials on the wikis to help me with these problems. After feeling like a fool for not remembering this, I went to the tutorial I needed and made changes to my flash. And that is how I learned how to motion tween! So I just finished my scene and I will show it to the girls tomorrow. I also have to show them how to motion tween because it saves a lot of time! Hopefully they will like my idea!!

Until Next Time,
