When things go wrong they go mega wrong.

As if the font disaster from earlier wasn't bad enough, and the pressure of impending deadlines (less than a month!), Flash decided to add it's own contribution to my stress levels.

Everything was going smoothly, I'd got up to scene 3 in the project (I'm always ahead of where I'm actually blogging. It's good to have a few days thinking about something else before you have to write all about it). Playing with menus and such, realised I hadn't tested the full movie since I added scene 3...so now was as good a time as any.

Flash, in its infinite wisdom, had decided that despite countless years of number '1' coming first, '2' second and '3' third, it would prefer it if the scenes in my movie went 1, 3, 2. And there was no way to change it back, short of reverting to the only saved file I had with only scenes 1 and 2 in, putting scene 3 in the right place, and copying, placing, and re-doing the timeline for the damn thing.

I thought maybe this wasn't the way forward, and decided to investigate my other options. The "loadMovie" actionscript seemed a good idea, so I played with that. I think I followed 5 tutorials on how to make it work without any success.

In the middle of playing about with this (which I hadn't saved), Flash decided that it would crash, so I lost all the loadMovie things I'd been playing with. Thanks, Flash. So I emailed Jess, and went back to doing Digital Media work instead.

If any Art teacher ever complains we are not commited, I'm going to hit them. It's a Friday night and my day has gone something like this:

10:00 - 11:45 - Studio
11:45 - 1:30 - Print
1:30 - 3:00 - Discourse
(Walk home, 30 minute walk)
3:30 - 6:00 - Studio
6:00 - 7:00 - Break! Dinner! TV!
7:00 - 8:30 - Studio
8:30 - 11:30 - Digital Media

Might make it to bed before midnight for the first in three days...
