You’ve found a dinosaur. This is one of my first posts about programming and the code quality is very poor, it is only here for archiving purposes.

For the subject Media Design we need to make an ident (introduction clip of something like 5 seconds) for a fictional game. We only had the name of the game and we could make the rest up. The name of the game is “Dolores Adventures” After designing a logo and style I had to make an ident.

We were free to make it in whatever we wanted (filming, stopmotion, animating), my love for ActionScript (since two months or so) made me make it in Flashbuilder.

Here is the ident for Dolores Adventures.

The code is fast written, easy and probably not very beautiful to look it, but you can use whatever you want from it. I use two classes. The class Bal (which is explained in my last tutorial in dutch) and the custom class for the ident. I work with a couple of timers to time everything out nice to the music.
