These three last weeks have been the worst in a very long time. I have worked day and night, around the clock, trying to learn Flash enough to have something to deliver. But I have accomplished nearly nothing. There've been more nights during this period that I haven't slept at all, than nights when I have slept a little at most.
In “case” 3 we are supposed to make three scenes with three layers of scenery—foreground, middle-ground, and background—which are moving differently. For instance the foreground is usually moving faster than the middle-ground, and the middle-ground faster than the background, as it appears to an observer.
I have envisioned one forest scene, to begin with. Then I have speculated about two Moon scenes. One is on the Moon, seeing Earth—or planet Terra, the Hell-planet—in the sky. The Raccoons (currently only one) are residing for a while in a “Heavenly plane” on the Moon before entering the sphere of the Earth upon reincarnating as wonderful baby raccoons.
The character from “case” 2 is supposed to be walking or moving to the left and right, and take on a resting position within the three scenes.
I have started drawing the forest scene using Corel Painter X. I save it as a Photoshop file (.psd), import it to the Library in Flash where I save it as a symbol. Each layer in the Photoshop file gets placed in different layers in Flash. Perhaps I'll include all layers of the scenes in the Scene instead of using them as placed “symbols”. I use Classic Tween for moving the layers in the scenes.
