Session 8 Reflection

In this session, my group was given chance to introduce our new storyboard to the class as my group has decided to change the topic. Thanks for Daniel's help. He has shown my group how to let a point move along a circular path. Before that, I did try hard to study some books about Flash about how to write (advanced) actionscripts. Daniel used simple tweening skill to let a point move around. With this demonstration, I start to think if I can finish the task without too much concern about writing advanced actionscripts. In the following weeks before the assignment deadline comes, my partner and I would continue to try to explore the possibility of doing the same thing with simpler and lower level of skill.

Based on Daniel's file, my group tries to explore ways of finishing the following items with our simple and limited level knowledge of Flash.
(a) Put a protractor in position.
(b) How to find an angle.
(c) How to show the static text and dynamic text at the same time, and decide which layer the text is to be put.
(d) Show the reducing bearing of the point in the four quadrants.

Here is the result of our exploration during these days after session 8.

Note that my group's final product may not look exactly the same as above. In the above file, my group just wants to study and show some skills required for our group assignment. I hope my group can show some more solutions in the coming prototype presentation.
