9 February 2014 Documentation

It's like the end of the world for me. I cant managed to put the composition to the center stage...

For Edge Animate, I am able to look for tutorials for parallax scrolling from youtube, which I just follow and the instruction and just using a line of code to make the parallax scrolling work for me.

In this tutorial, the author show steps to steps how to create the parallax scrolling event using Adobe Edge Animate by just using one line of simple code after importing the external library, the powerful Edge Common. I further read the documentation about this code library on EdgeDock to have a deeper understanding on how to use them properly. 

After some trial and error, I managed to do simple parallax scrolling hypercomic, but I another big problem I have face is I can't make my composition align to center when my stage width is set to 100%. The code introduce by Edge Common and even EdgeHero doesn't work for me and I can't manage to figure out what the problem behind this situation. 

I guess I just have to give up centering my composition.

What does the saying “Time is Gold” really meant?

People often use this saying to teach the young to seize the day and not to take time for granted.

Well, for me I truly feel the pain now!

First, I do not have gold. Secondly, even if I have 10K of gold now, this cannot buy me a few extra days in my life to do my project. 

I had been focusing a lot on the drawing. Being able to create your own comic is exiting and it gives me a big sense of accomplishment. I know that I need to balance the time allocated for both drawing and coding but the urge to complete the drawing triumph over the desire to do the coding most of the time. I guess this is the most painful lesson I have learnt from this few weeks of learning process.
