In this mini-series, we’re creating a spaceship game where the main control is via the microphone: shout louder to make the ship fly higher. So far, we’ve created all the required graphical elements for the game. Now, it’s time to work on our code. We’ve got a lot to do, so let’s get started!

In this series finale I’m excited to introduce you to the features that make TimelineMax so special. I’m also going to touch on some special tricks you can do with TimelineLite so that you can apply wild ease effects to the total play back speed of a timeline that includes hundreds of tweens and nested timelines. You have to see it to believe it.

In the previous video I showed you how to implement basic playback controls. Today I am going to talk about using labels to mark and navigate to precise locations in a TimelineLite. Labels in TimelineLite work similarly to how frame labels work in Flash IDE timelines. I’ll be showing you multiple ways to add labels and some clever ways of using them. We’ll also take a little look at some features exclusive to TimelineMax.

In the previous session I went over how to create a basic TimelineLite. Today I will show you the methods and properties that you will use to control the playback of your TimelineLite. By combining these methods and properties you can extend the built in functionality of TimelineLite to create fast-forward and play/pause toggle controls. I’ll also show you how easy it is to set up a Slider component to use as a TimelineLite scrubber.

In the first part of this series we took a general look at the capabilities of TimelineLite. In this video I’ll show you how to get up and running with your first TimelineLite animation. You’ll learn about the various methods and properties that will be a foundation for all of the lessons moving forward.

In this two-part mini series, you’ll learn how to create a Flash spaceship game, where the main control is via the microphone: shout louder to make your ship fly higher, to try to avoid the obstacles that appear on the screen. In this first part, we’ll focus on the design of the game, by drawing the main game objects and putting together the (mouse-controlled) menu and screen interface.
