What are we using the Flash program to create? Tell me at least 5 terms and explain them that you learned as we did practice with Flash.

We are currently using Flash to create an animated story. Since I'm in Game Design and we haven't gotten into coding yet, I knew most of the things we've learned about Flash so far, but I'll list some of the things that have been introduced in this class.
Stage: The white box in which you draw.
Clipboard: You can draw in this, but it won't show up in your .SWF file. Mostly used for storage.
.FLA: One of the 2 file formats that Flash uses. You can edit this one.
.SWF: The other of the 2 file formats that Flash uses. This plays anything that's on the stage, with or without coding.
Frames: Since Flash is an animation program, you need to be able to animate. Frames are what you use to animate your drawings.

How did your company presentation go? What was the best part? What was the weakest part? What is the main thing you learned during this presentation?

The company project didn't go as bad as I thought it would be, although it was definitely nerve-racking. The best and worst parts aren't exactly clear to me, as they didn't specify anything particularly good or bad, they just said that I needed to add a few things. I did learn, however, that I'd prefer to not take digital imaging 1 or 2... It seems to be more business related than learning aspects of Photoshop and other Adobe programs, which is the main reason that I joined this class.

Reflect on the progress of your company project--3-4 sentences.

The company Jordan and I have created is going quite slowly, since I'm not too terribly sure what exactly I'm supposed to be doing... As for reflecting on progress, not sure about that either... As more and more work keeps piling up, I feel it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with it. It just makes it that much more difficult to get this stuff done by the deadline.
