gaaaaahhhhhhh so fecking much to dooooooo!
apologies for the lack of online presence, was so busy up until, y'know, about that last post, crashed for a day, did mad shopping this weekend, and suddenly it's late Sunday night and I've got a day and a half to finish this flash project and I've spent all day on it and aaaaaugh!

*breathes*

luckily for what's left of my sanity, I've decided not to try to piece together my own remix of a few songs within the flash - it would've kicked ass, but I lack the proper software to do it within the time frame. I spent half an hour or so poking at just two clips, and trying to line things up was going to be maaaaddening, so I wisely gave up.

and then spent just as long again, poking through my mp3 stash and ripping things from cd and listening to things and trying to sort out what would work. (a special thanks to Britt for having the perfect sort of music. a note to the rest of you: go here and check stuff out, it's a little out there, but very good - definitely get "Tide Water" by A Place For Parks <3) so I think I'm going with the afore-mentioned "Tide Water" for the intro, then a choral version of Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" for the rest... but this is all subject to change in the next five minutes or fifteen hours. e_e;

but I've got the main part completely functional at least, a few typos to fix and some minor alignments to adjust, but that's easy.. the intro is, well, the main original idea is DONE, that's what I've spent all night on.. but now I've another thing I want to add to it, and the coding is easy, the rest should just be typing in a bunch of words, but I'm sure something random'll come up to complicate things. x_x;

putting it all together is going to take a bit of work, but luckily I did a test the other day, and I *think* I know how to make it all work, with the different parts and the sound and all. *crosses fingers*

the one thing that's baffling me is the damn custom cursor. as far as I can tell I've got the coding right, it seems to make sense, and sometimes it works, but then most of the time? for some idiotic reason it offsets by like a quarter of the screen - like where your mouse actually is, is not where the cursor I made shows up. I have NO fecking clue why. x______x so the pretty little feather cursor may or may not happen.. I'd really like it to though, it'd add a lot to the thing. and it's pretty and good.

*yaaaawns, rubs eyes blearily* my head still hurts. but I'm still up cos I was working on my flash a lot, and then Haruna imed me to look over her paper.. and we've been talking since, about all sorts of interesting things that only college students seem to be able to discuss so frankly. *giggles* but it's really good, we've found a few more things we have in common..

I'll sleep soon. really.
