Animation and interactivity in Flash: Case 4



In Case 4 we are supposed to create the main scene in our game or experience production, using graphics and characters we've made during the first three “cases”. But this time we are starting with a blank screen/scene and import the objects from the library with ActionScript. We also have to move a character across the screen with the right arrow and left arrow control keys. The character must never leave the screen.

ActionScript 3.0 … It changes the world forever.

All scripting and coding is new to me. I have no concepts, no language, no idea how to even think about it. How will I use it, when I have no means to think or talk about it?

Consequently I lag behind more than ever.

Strangely though, I've managed to finish Case 4 by replacing the names in a script written by the teacher who've been holding the lectures about ActionScript. 

Since I am still not finished with the first three “cases”, I have first solved Case 4 with a different, more simple Flash-file containing a test-character and other objects replacing the ones used in the teacher's script and scene.
