Adobe Flash Pro CS4 [Mac]
I have discovered that I am not an artist, or designer in any kind of way. I can not draw. Take a look:
That is probably the best car I have drawn on a computer, and only the second best one ever.
My Mutimedia & Internet class is based on Flash and ActionScript. After a an introduction into basic animations such as Classic, Shape, and Motion Tweens, we have moved onto ActionScript 3.0.
I find the Flash platform a crappy development environment. I do not have much experience with animation, and I am new to the Flash environment, but there is something unrefined about the user experience and the workflow. The compiler and debugger seem as though they were added as an after thought. It would be nice if there was a more unified approach to developing with ActionScript; compiling should be a step by it self, where error messages are reported by themselves. As it is, errors are being reported once Preview Movie is Selected.
Even the teacher says Flash CS4 is not the greatest tool available, and is looking for alternate methods for developing with ActionScript. Since Flash is a very closed piece of software, I do not think he will be too successul.
On th upside, my ugly can turn, acclerate, and has an emergency break. What I am looking to add is a way get the car bounce slightly off a wall (the wall being the edge of the stage). I am open to any suggestions.
