Posted on: February 21st, 2008 Final Assigment

Ok guys these are the specifications for your final assignment:

Brief:

You will have to create a small banner campaign for a product of your choosing, it could be a real or fictitious product, or something that you have created for MAS in the past. He banners will have to meet minimum requirements before they can even be considered and launched. More importantly, your banners should effectively push your product to drive potential customers into your site. Basically, make them cool!!!

Requirements:

• Files size needs to be no more than 30k
• All layers in the fla should have a proper name
• Any/all movieclips created need to be properly named
• All of you Actionscript code needs to reside in the top layer of you fla
• Your code needs properly commented
• Your library needs to be organized with folders for images and movieclips
• All banners should between 10-15 seconds long

Specifications:

• Sizes required: 160×600, 250×300, 728×90
• Framerate: 30 FPS
• The banner should link out to a website – your choice, and keep it proper
• Use our mouse follower somewhere in the banner

You’ll be graded on the overall banner, but the main thing that you have to try to achieve is this… people should want to click it! – keep that in mind and you’ll do fine…

Good luck, you guys are ready for this! I believe in all of you!

Posted on: January 29th, 2008 Jan 29th Class Notes

Just to recap what we went over tonight, i just wanted to give you guys a few tips to start troubleshooting your code:

• CHECK YOUR INSTANCE NAMES! – 90% of the times, when you can’t access a MovieClip you created is because your missing your instance name, so always make sure your checking that.
• _x and _y – If you want to change the position of a MovieClip through code, just type the name of your movie ._x or ._y equals to the new position.
• Clear you intervals – Always make sure that when you create intervals you clear them, that’ll be a great way to ensure that you do not have any rogue intervals out there.
• _visible – Turn stuff on and off by talking to your MovieClip._visible = true or false.
• Dynamic textfields – Make sure you embed only the characters you need, remember it’ll add to your file size. Also remember if you want to populate that textfield do it like: txtYourTextField.text = “your text in quotes”.
