Creating Drag & Drop and Quiz Games 25/06/2013


B. Development work
Drag & Drop Game
When I started this work I found a picture that was related to my IMP to use for my drag and drop game, once I did that i then opened the picture in Photoshop and cut it into four pieces and saved them all as separate .Jpg files.after this I went into flash and created an actionscript 3.0 project. I then imported all of four images and converted them to symbols, I gave all of my symbols appropriate names and also gave them instance names. I created a new layer on the timeline called actions and I added some code to the first frame. I then ran my drag and drop game and it worked.

Quiz Game
For the quiz game I opened up a template and changed the background and modified the code so that I had questions relevant to the theme of my IMP.

Converting FLV to SWF

A.  20/06/2013 - Converting FLV to SWF 

 

B. Development work
First I opened Adobe Flash Proffesional CS6 and created an  Action Script 3.0 to create my SWF files. I imported one of my scenes from my scenes folder and chose a skin with button that would make it easy to view with handy controls, I then made it fit the dimentions of the project by using the free transform tool. I renamed the first layer to film and added a button to the layer by going on the window menu then common librarys and I selected a button. I changed the instance name of the button to btunloadfilm. I then added a new layer and named this layer code. I saved the project into the project folder so that i didn't get an error when doing the next step. I clicked on the actions tab of the first frame in the code layer and pasted in some code which would allow the button to work. After this I saved the project again then went into the publish settings unchecked HTML wrapper and published the scene.
C. How the development work will fit into the brief
This development will work to fit the brief as it will allow me to create the IMP for the target audience that consists of a front end with video clips. I have selected the E block to base my theme on. This fits into the brief because it allow me to create SWF files for my front end.

First made a folder for the full film and all of my separate clips in my home drvive and dragged the full clip into its correct folder, then I got the .MOD files for the seperate scenes I am going to be using and I dragged them into Adobe Media Encoder CS6. I then made sure that the right output location was selected for all of the files I was going to be converting. I then made sure that ther format was FLV because flash only works with FLV files. I then pressed start and all of the files were converted.
