I built a LEGO© house in Google’s new Build with Chrome thing

Using Chrome’s Build application,  I built a virtual house out of Legos.

My LEGO© house in Australia

This is a house I built using Google's Build app

This is a simple house I build out of virtual LEGOs in Google’s Build app.

Here’s the link to my virtual Lego house in Australia.

It works like a simplified version of Google’s Sketchup app. If you have worked with Sketchup, or even if you haven’t, you should be able to figure it out pretty quickly. But once you do, be prepared to waste a lot of time working with virtual LEGOs.

Time to Revisit Flash

Wrote this little flash thing to get back into the program.

Wrote this little thing to get my Flash chops up.

So I had to teach a class today on Flash. No biggie, right? Wrong.

A lot has changed since the 90s. ActionScript 3.0 won’t let you put scripts on buttons anymore. Which makes a lot of sense, because I was always loosing where I put my scripts (part of the reason I abandoned Flash so long ago). So it’s a little cleaner, but now everything has to be a function. Meh.

Here’s a little project I did to learn/remember how to make buttons do their thing. You click on one thing, it goes to another frame and stops. Click another thing and there’s a little animation with sound. And click one other thing and it links to a web page.
