as "art" - project CODeDOC commissioned by the Whitney
http://artport.whitney.org/commissions/codedoc/
assignment - due week 6
Create a Flash application where the user can interact with several graphics objects on the stage and change the object's properties. A (too) simple example would involve clicking on a square movieClip to move it to the right and rotate it:
Simple example (rotate_square.fla)
The creative brief for this project is:
- Design an interesting visual presentation that has complex behavior that users can affect with a very simple interface. In other words, let the code do the complex actions, and have simple ways for the user to trigger or affect these actions.
The project has the following technical requirements.
- The main timeline must be 1 frame long
- Change each of these movieClip properties somewhere in the project:
- _alpha
- _x, _y
- _xscale, yscale
- _rotation
- Have at least 6 objects on the screen
- Implement at least 3 different user interactions
- Use the Math.random() function to randomly change a property
- Upload the .swf file to your site on the server, and email me the .fla file.
