Animation Update 26.04.2010

So far, this is as far as I have come with my animation. Hopefully within this next week, I will be able to almost complete it. The action script writing is not as difficult as I thought it would be but it still is quite difficult as I have never really looked at action script writing before. Anyways, here is as far as I am with the Garden Patch:



I have gotten the Garden Patch all done with each of the rows a movable button. When the viewer rolls over the button, multiple things occur. First off, an image of the vegetable appears along with the word spelled out. I have also included sound with it so that the viewer knows how to pronounce the vegetable.





This is what the 'Cookbook' scene looks like. I don't really like the background as it makes the book seem like it is just floating in mid-air so I think I am going to change that. I also have to redo the type as it looks awkward and out of place. Plus, I need to simplify the recipes so that children can understand them and also so it doesn't look so crowded.

Animation Update 12.04.2010

So far I have been able to animate the opening sequence of my animation. Essentially, the animation starts with just the sky and grass. The clouds and sky start to move across the stage and the hill comes up from the bottom. Then the grass sprouts drop in from above along with the sign post. The sign post is actually a button that allows the viewer to enter the Garden Patch. Below are screen shots of what it looks like when you roll over the sign.
