Supervisor Tutorial 7: Cutscenes, Panning, and blogs

As requested, I showed Daniel the Flash cutscene that I created.

Daniel was pleased with the result.
He did however state that if I had coloured in the piece, it would have given him a better idea on the appearance of the final product.

During out tutorial, I spoke to Daniel about the navigation idea I had prior to this tutorial. Since I had not done this type of thing before, I asked Daniel what he thought the best way to go about this would be.

He stated that it would be best to steer clear of button rollovers, to register if the mouse is near either side, as they would interfere with the buttons on stage. Daniel suggested that I instead use a script to read where the X-Axis of the mouse is.

With this, Daniel noted that I would not be able to move the stage and should instead put all the items of the room in a movieclip which will be moved instead.

I thought that these were brilliant ideas and I could not wait to get started!

I then showed Daniel my blog, he looked though them and said they were a good size and held good information but it would be a good idea to add more pictures to help me look nicer and illustrate my points better.

Before I left, Daniel handed me a piece of paper giving me a rough idea on how I would script the panning.
The note was as follows:

if (movieclip>100){
   if (mouseX>30){
      movieclip=+5;
   }
}else if (movieclip<-300){
   if(mouseX<-30)
     movieclip=-5;
