Friday Post April 1ST

                                                                     What I Learned
Even though this was a short week i re-learned some things that I have forgotten over Spring break. Like how to add sounds to flash, add buttons and many other things. When you want to add a sound to a specific frame you want to add a keyframe so it'll start at that frame. (eg: frame 10)                                                                                                                           

                                                                                             Tips & Tricks
-Always save every 5-10mins
-lock layers that you aren't working on
-don't skip stuff ask for help
-don't let others touch your work unless you know exactly what they are going to do
