Jayel Draco is currently trapped under miles of Flash CS4 ActionScript3.0. . .
I love designing and creating things that I've designed in many different mediums.
To be quite honest though, I never really thought that I'd be programming to make a design work. Websites just sort of crept up on me. .html was easy to learn. then flash stepped in. As an animator it was only natural to pick up a tool that enabled me to create interactive animations, such as a flash website. Flash MX ActionScript2.0 wasn't a struggle for me to learn. There was plenty of presets to chose from and effective code snippets on forums all over the web. ActionScript3.0! Eeeeek. the possibilities are so beautifully limitless, but damn it's allot to know.
After days and days of coding, all the sudden everything stops working. Everything, the whole site glitches on the first frame. I know the problem is simple, it always is. Somewhere in my thousands of lines of code I used a colon when I should've used a semi colon, or a comma where there should've been a period.
Did I mean to say

Did I mean to say
" _this.scaleX = _that.scaleX" or was it supposed to be " _this.scaleX == _that.scaleX"
the subtle difference between those two statements could break a site if it's on a crucial line. Nonetheless, damn it's a victory everytime I finally figure it out. a total roller coaster of crises and victory.
It's not what I want to spend all of my time doing, but when I do it, I get sucked in deep.
