Beatles are back in the studio

after making a band image of the beatles in adobe illustrator, i imported it into flash and played with the bone tool to have the heads and hands and instruments move intime with the music of the recording studio.
the effect works really well, and the slight movements from the guitar hilts and head bobbles from ringo really make this page stand out.

cars now have sound!!!

managed to sort out the car sound problem, before the cars would pass by the screen with no sound , but now i have them hit a mark and the sound plays , took me a while but i figured it out, i created two sounds in adobe soundbooth , on of a normal car passing by and other with the radio on playing a beatles song. which works really well. there not on a random timer but the uneven times that the cars reapear give the impression of random.

Troubles with audio

having troubles with the audio at the moment, the sound from stage 1 seems to play over the other sounds in stage 2 and 3, so i added a stopall code to it and that seemed to have worked till i realised it wouldnt play at all, if the user came out of stage 2 or 3 the sound on the stage 1 would stop all together.

Audio in the studio.

Added audio today not quite what i wanted but its taken me the best part of the day to get it to work, ive added four buttons with four songs, the idea being the beatles are in the studio and have either just finished recording or about to start and you can check the songs they just made.the page gives you the feeling of being the sound man. along with the pictures of the beatles and other iconic images it really makes you feel nostalgic.

Audio section

The audio section of the site was originally to be the original main section until I had to late idea to change it think I was very wise in my decision as adding audio is not as easy as it seems, at this point I have noticed that the size of my file is getting extraordinarily large so in order to cut down on file size I have some audio files playing from an external file, for this I had to search tutorials on how to do it because it never done it before I always embedded my music into the website.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Today I added Lucy in the sky with diamonds it was an idea that came to me when making the background for the pepper land page because in photo shop I wrote the name Lucy in the sky and I photo shopped diamonds of different colours around the name, I decided it would be a great idea if you could hover over the diamond and have it play a section of the tune from the actual song, and choosing the intro was really great idea because it was very recognisable and everybody who has used my site to give me feedback and said that they like that bit the best it catches them off guard and they like it.

madness

The land has turned out to be harder than I expectedit's a good job I decided to get rid of the games and keep it as an interactive piece because it's becoming a nightmare to code that you learn in the second year in action script 2 you find it sometimes obsolete, granted some code still works but not everything, I've been experimenting with bone tool which is a new addition to Adobe Flash CS4 I've been using this Army images that I could ready for animating the only problem is it it doesn't like using PNG images which all my images are so it makes it very difficult, having said that I still managed to animate some characters using the bone tool and they look pretty good.
