I don't mind doing the Adobe presentation if no one wants to.

Hey Nick,

 Thanks for doing all the stuff you did. I made the file size of the 1st part smaller. I tried opening a bunch of the images in photoshop and changing the file size, but in the end it made the overall size of the flash even bigger. I wasn't quite sure why.  There's also a few bugs from before that I wasn't quite sure how to fix. Also, I can help add in some of the lightning buttons, but can I see the 2nd half/how you did it?

I put the file on the server, renamed with "b" at the end.

Compressed last half and images for Daichi

I compressed a lot of the last half and added text, the credit sequence and the lightning indicators.

LastHalfTest.SWF



Also, only one person responded about the images to send to Daichi, I'll just take their suggestion and send those two images to him.

Part 1 on google drive

Hey Jeanie, you said you wanted to take a look at the files to see if you could compress some of the elements, I just put the first half on the google drive.  It's called

"FirstHalfcompile 03 Pig Kick Prep 06.fla"

Go through the Library and clear out anything that's not being used and compress whatever is left as much as you can.  I've already started doing the same to the second half and it's already less than half the size that the original file was.  Also, double check Richard's scenes to make sure they are working properly.  When I put them in I had to copy each keyframe one at a time, and I was hurried so there may be some errors.  I spotted one with the space pan that I've already fixed, but there may be more in the others.

Update

Hi everybody, as you all probably know by now, there were some technical issues combining the shots together.  Be assured that all the text animations, clickable bonus animations, and pose changes will be in the final product, we just need to compress some of the elements down enough so that flash can work with them without freezing up every five minutes.  I'll be posting the fla files up on the drive right after I'm done posting this.

Also, Daichi wants us to send some images from the book for him to use in a poster.  I went through the presentation real quick and took some screenshots of some possible images to use.  What is everyone's opinion on what we should send.  Also, if there are any images you particularly like that are not included please post them.
