Remember, it’s tacky to laugh at amateur Flash movies
So, in my quest to become a more well-rounded web denizen, I decided I wanted to learn Flash.
Usually I’m a self-starter type, but for whatever reason, I just couldn’t/didn’t get around to teaching myself the basics.
The user interface of Adobe Flash looks very similar to the UI elements I’m used to in Photoshop, but they work in subtly different ways. It drives me crazy. And all my well-practiced Photoshop keyboard shortcuts lead to general disarray when used out of force of habit in Flash.
So rather than continue ranting about how Flash is utterly pointless and wretched for SEO and usability (defense mechanism much?), I decided to enroll in a local Introduction to Flash night class.
Behind the link, you’ll see the movie I made during class. Be prepared for hilarity.
It’s like I’m back in 1990s, learning HTML all over again. Except with sound effects!
And it won’t stop looping!!! (That’s better than I could do, but it does make me think of 1998 html.)
Ah I forgot to disable looping! Hahaha it just keeps getting better on every loop ;)
