About Flash and Sketchup

I've been browsing the Internet on tutorials for learning flash. They have been actually pretty helpful. I have to say, I never thought I be learning to do the things that I have learned in a theatre class. I assumed our class would have to do with some sort of art and pictures and interpreting modern books written by people of different cultures, but what the heck do I know. I plan to make it a point to learn Flash little by little on my own. It has so many great uses to it and as Sara mentioned, I think it will put me at an advantage in the workforce. I have already began to work on my son's birthday party invitations as well as my niece's. I'm enjoying myself too as I discover the different kind of things you can do with it. My son loves to watch me fool around with it. I learned how to draw a ball and then add some kind of movement (I can't remember what it was called), and the ball bounces in the direction of the path I drew out for it. Cool huh?

I think the hardest part about working with flash is the many times you discover how to do something new and actually remember how you did it. I guess that just as with anything else, practice makes perfect. Sketchup was a whole different ball game. I struggled a lot with it. I don't know why. I guess I was just so out of practice with Autocad. I did manage to finally mount the pictures I wanted in the scaffolding. I also managed to mount my pictures on a model I dowloaded, but I forgot to pay attention to the amount of MB. When I tried to even send it via email, it was way too large. However, I'll have it in my computer tomorrow so I can show the rest of our class.
