Disecting my project

While it is not quite a far along as a project as I'd hoped it would be, I am content that I set out to accomplish something that was way beyond anything with which I had more than passing experience. In then end I was able to accomplish several things that will help me continue this project with far fewer hangups then I would have otherwise.

These accomplishments include:
  • Creating original art with Photoshop
  • Working with a wacom tablet and pen
  • Introducing myself to some of the basic components of Flash
  • Finding and following an online Flash tutorial including some creative code manipulation
  • Learning some of the basic distinctions between ActionScript 2.0 and ActionScript 3.0 (out of necessity not choice)
  • Finding free hosting to .swf movies
  • Embedding .swf movies into blogger with html
While the final test page itself seems a bit unimpressive, it represents time, effort, and most importantly some basic skills that I will be able to build on as I continue to work on this project.
