Story Flash

Flash can be tricky -- in the simplist things. The students are starting their games in Flash, and have come up with unique (to me) problems to things we had already done. Some of them were easy to solve, like why doesn't the paint can work on the graphics? (Make a sealed area to paint in.) Others are more puzzling, like why doesn't the action script box allow anything to be typed? Or how did we do that guided motion tween before? Now, nothing seems to work! But, little by little we are making progress. Students are analyzing their game prototypes carefully. They don't want to spend a lot of time reworking Flash!
