work, thoughts, and discoveries

Starting Flash. Flash is pretty cool. I like how you use the stage and actual objects as well as the programing. You have to go back and forth. Its also nice to be able to preview what you are doing to see if it works. Action Script 3 is a little different then 2. Still trying to get used to that. I would really like to learn how to use .as files instead of the actions window, because it seems like a cleaner way to code.

This dynamic text seems like it will be pretty interesting. I am interested in art as a system, or art as a filter. Its similar to what you are doing with a drawing, for instance. You take the visual information, the light and the objects, and you filter it through your perception and your style, and bam there is a drawing. This is not using you as a filter though, you are creating a filter and taking content from other places. Pretty cool.
