flash buttons

I've been experimenting with Flash buttons, which are very cool. I'm still having a bit of trouble with loading and just "playing" the sound, as opposed to loading it every time, but I've gotten around that for now. I made a small jukebox, including the tracks "Midnight In A Perfect World" by DJ Shadow and the track "Bang" by Blur. I also included a panic! button to shut off all the sounds, and short animation in Flash to try to integrate the buttons with keyframe motion. I didn't add any tweening for now, but I'll experiment more with that later. I'll try to upload this as a link on my new homepage,
kaigross.com, so that anyone can check it out online.

Still working on my Flash animation project, although I have a basic idea for an opening animation for my homepage. I've finally registered my new domain, which I've been lucky enough to get under my own name. If there is another Kai Gross in the world, he doesn't have a homepage under that name. Lucky me...anyway, this is a .jpg image of the final shot from what will be a very short and simple Flash animation for my homepage.

I like to keep it simple, out of necessity. I'm a minimalist. There are graphic designers in New York who specialize in Flash, I've heard. I'm impressed by what can be done with this great program. I've barely even scratched the surface. I've realized that Flash animation is everywhere on the Net. It's simple and reflexively malleable for animators. Very cool. Now I'm going to watch the Super Bowl. I don't care who wins. Bye.
