CONTROLLINNG THE MAINTIMELINE from inside a MOVIE CLIP!

buttonInstanceName1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandlerButtonInstanceName1);
function mouseDownHandlerButtonInstanceName1(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop(10);
}

Two Ways of Walking

(both methods are based up creating symbols and placing instances of those symbols on the stage)

moving the timeline:
btnInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandlerA);
function mouseDownHandlerA(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(10);
}

commanding a movieClip to play:
buttonInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandlerB);
function mouseDownHandlerB(event:MouseEvent):void {
movieClipInstanceName.play();
}

functions, methods, parameters

functions
functions are blocks of code that allow us the create situations for executing methods based on events on the stage, such as interactivity, like clicking a button
braces { } allow the function to trigger when called by name


methods
methods are the verbs of actionScript
in a function, the methods tell FLASH what to do, for example stop() or gotoAndPlay()

parameters
methods are followed by parentheses; inside these parentheses are values call parameters
parameters specify the activity of the method, for example assigning a frame destination or a type of event listener:
in the method gotoAndPlay(5), 5 is the parameter


methods
btnInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandlerA);
function mouseDownHandlerA(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1);
}

parameters
btnInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandlerA);
function mouseDownHandlerA(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1);
}

VARIABLE
A variable represents a specific piece of data.
When you declare(create) a variable, you assign a data type.
Assigning a data type determines what kind of data the variable can represent.
var is the keyword used to create a variable

KEYWORD
A word used to perform a specific task
var is the keyword used to create a variable

PARAMETER
The value between parentheses
A detail for a particular command
In the method gotoAndPlay(5), 5 is the parameter

FUNCTION
A group of statements referred to by name

OBJECT
abstract data that helps to perform tasks
A button is an object.

METHOD
the verbs of ActionScript
stop() is a method
gotoAndPlay(5) is a method

PROPERTIES
data that describes an object
height, width, x and y coordinates are properties

EVENT
occurences that happen inside the Flash environment
a mouse click is an event

code to use a button to move us along the timeline:
btnInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandlerA);
function mouseDownHandlerA(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1);
}




buttonInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandlerB);
function mouseDownHandlerB(event:MouseEvent):void {
movieClipInstanceName.play();
}

PROJECT I: Collage Self Portrait

Many of my classmates felt that my project communicated an impending sense of doom.  I was really trying to say that it was my birthday.



Use collage and juxtaposition to create a figurative (head and/or body) self portrait that is a patchwork of your interior emotional states, your aspirations and frustrations, the ideal selves that make you who you are...

Use only larges images from the web, you cannot scale these images up, only down, and your images should show no signs of visible pixelation or pixel dirt

Look to Dada artists Raoul Haussman and Hannah Hoch for inspiration

You may look to past classwork for examples, but keep in mind that their constraints and specifications were somewhat different than yours.

Use an equal number of photos and pre-digital artwork (paintings or illustrations created without obvious signs of digital manipulation)
minimum of 24 found images (so a minimum of 12 found photos and 12 found artworks)

Windows that will need to be open for this project:
layers window
history window

Operations you may use from the drop down menu:
image>adjustments>
image>canvas size
edit>transform>etc.

Tool Box tools you may use for this project:
rectangular marquee tool
elliptical marquee tool
selection tool
