proooooolly screwed...

So, in a moment of "can't sleep! time to panic!" this weekend, I decided I would have to scrap all of my original cool ideas for the sake of saving time. This means no bitmap images! I'm not too sad about this, since it was taking me a long time to get the images that I wanted to use, and when  I did, I couldn't get them to do what I want. Plus, I've never used the drawing tools in Flash to create anything before, so I thought it would be a nice time to start. This has really helped so far, since I've made a major leap forward compared to my former snail's pace bitmaps were making me take. I'm going to have an actual storyboard for class tomorrow, and most likely TONS of questions. 
I've never been savvy at linking up sounds with images (notice that my only Flash animation is a silent film *cough*), and I'm still a little confused as to how that all works. Every time I go into Soundtrack Pro, it's made glaringly obvious to me that this is a program that already assumes you understand all of the cool, techno soundboard lingo. Well, I don't, so it's been a fun experience of opening the program, fiddling with things, getting pissed off, and shutting the program with a promise of revenge. Maybe we can work it out, but it will be with a mutual understanding of dislike.
