we can make music!

Well I like the fact that we learned how to put some music into the page. I know that some guys already knew how to do it, but now it was part of the class it helps out. I suppose it would be nice to have some sort of simple sound editing program it edit music and sounds and stuff, but I guess that's another whole thing the learn itself.

Controlling the embedded music player

When looking at the W3Cs page about HTML5, it seems like there's a new tag for inserting audio. It's called <audio> :) It behaves just as the <embed> tag, but has the feature that external scripts can control it. I found this website, providing a great set of functions for the player. The script provided requires some knowledge in Javascript and jQuery, but appears to be really handy.

ex12

ex12 is really hard, i'm trying to do it follow the pdf file, but still can't success. Need to read the pdf file again to double check all the steps.

Ex11 and Ex12

Exercise 11 was really interesting and at the same time it was fun. I have never worked with flash, but even though it is my first time working with flash it does not seem too difficult. Exercise 11 was fun because it gave us a chance to work with flash and illustrator and be as creative as we wanted to be. Today's exercise was very helpful because it taught me something new that i can implement into my third project. The one thing that exercise 12 really showed me was how to add music. Before this exercise i knew how to add pop ups, but i didn't know how to add music, or how to use open web browser window behavior.

class website

The class website looks very nice. The author did spent a great time and effort on it. I feel pity that my design didn't win :)

Exercise 12

I got to class late today and immediately got to work on Exercise 11 which was due today but I knew that I had to get to work on Exercise 12 because it too was due today. While working on Exercise 11 I was unable to fully pay attention to the demo for Exercise 12 but once I finished with Exercise 11 I read the pdf file and had no troubles working through the exercise on my own. Everything was very straightforward and I even added rollovers to the nav links because I felt like just simply using regular jpg images was not enough. The whole separate browser window and the pop up message was amazing.

project 2 progress

I think I am past the halfway point of my e-book and it's coming along nicely. I hope that it doesn't look as awful as my 2nd project. I wanted to animate the pages but it seems a little complex. I could have a friend help me a little with it but I don't know if I have time. Some of the examples from past classes had very abstract ideas or books that were non-linear which was interesting. I thought everyone would make something simpler. I hope that my project doesn't up too plain or boring. I just need to figure out how to make my text flow better with my images aesthetically. Other than that, everything seems fine.
