I’ll be pretty busy this few days. I have to complete my presentation for my Molecular Genetics module. Yong Liang and company has requested for a Flash presentation. I comply without hesitation. I am quite lazy to start it. Looks like I really have to now. We have to present this coming Thursday. Flash animations take quite long to create. Plus I am quite a perfectionist, which can be rather problematic. Like now. I am facing a lot of trouble creating transitional animations for my frames in Flash. This is due to really bad coding.
If you wonder how it looks like, it looks something like this:
// This is the old fading in and out animation functions
function oldfadeinandout() {
if (currentslide._currentframe == currentslide._totalframes) {
// defining important variables
slidespeed = "1";
// Preparing next slide's load environment
newslide._alpha = "0";
newslide._y = slidespeed*10;
_root.yvalue = newslide._y;
// Using sliding animations
slideoff.onEnterFrame = function() {
currentslide._alpha = currentslide._alpha-10;
yvalue = currentslide._y;
currentslide._y = currentslide._y+slidespeed;
};
slideon.onEnterFrame = function() {
…
Okay, you’ve seen enough. I just copy and paste a portion of the code for transitional animations. Well, I am a really bad programmer and I face a lot of problems. The codes just simply don’t work! I have no one to consult too. Guan Jie often consults me about Flash. Jin yao asks questions occasionally. David questions too. I was even referred to Yong Liang’s friend in Ngee Ann Poly to help him with his Flash presentation. I can solve their problems, BUT I can’t solve mine! This is getting frustrating. Period.
