Elevator Park

Finally. :P Elevator Park.

This was my final project for CTIN 544. Basically I just had this idea for a maze of elevators, with famous characters running amok within... and whenever you encountered said famous person, you'd hear their theme song, only it'd be "elevator muzak" style. I originally used this idea for the "movie map" assignment, but because what I came up with was so completely lackluster compared to the original concept (which I really liked), I revamped the whole thing and made it my final project, since the last assignment's instructions were kind of free-for-all.

I was pleased with it, but didn't have time to do stick figures (had little blocks) and had a bizarre bug with some of the Rider logic.

After the semester was over, I vowed to remedy these things and finally got around it. So I fixed the bug (had to rewrite allllll my Rider logic in order to pin it down, grargh) and put in some extremely mediocre walking stick figures, so now it's at a state in which I don't mind posting it. There's still some weird behavior with Riders, but very few and far between now... and not quite worth tracking down. >_<

Considering I don't know jack about animating in Flash (or... in anything else, for that matter), I'm relatively satisfied with what I learned. x_X (Thanks Brandi, for helping me figure out what I was doing wrong with multiple animations in one movie clip. :x )

For the record, I did not do the music arrangements... my friend Sam Pierce did, incidentally the same guy who does the WoW machinima that I've plugged previously.

Great job! I like the clash of egos when more than one of them are on screen. ;^) And good job fixing the logic - although I saw one teleport into the elevator that had already left, it is a small issue like you said and does not stop the it from running.

Hopefully your experience with Flash was good and you'll keep playing with it! Me wuv Flash! Although like any great love, we have our spats... >;^)
