Narrative: Video Online

Posted March 20th

Here is my final video for my narrative module; a playful look at how syntax of language can influence the presented narrative style.

I have pasted the main as3 class below, however some other files are needed for it to compile: Click here to download (zip)

package  
{
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.events.Event;
	
	/**
	* The World in Seven Days, by God
	* Copywrite (dawn of time)
	* 
	* Please feel free to improve on my work, HOWEVER NO SNAKES!
	*/
	
	public class god extends MovieClip
	{
		private var THE_LIGHT:Light;
		
		public function god() 
		{
			//Lets get to work
			day1();
		}
		
		// DAY ONE - God created heaven and earth, LET THERE BE LIGHT!
		private function day1():void {
			
			var THE_EARTH:Earth = new Earth();
			addChild(THE_EARTH);
			
			THE_LIGHT = new Light();
			addChild(THE_LIGHT);
			
			//Create a heaven to store the dead bodies
			var heaven:Array = new Array();
			
			day2();
		}
		
		// DAY TWO - God filled the earth with water and formed the oceans
		private function day2():void {
			
			var THE_SEA:Sea = new Sea();
			addChild(THE_SEA);

day3();
		}
		
		// DAY THREE - God created dry land, which allowed plants and grass to sprout
		private function day3():void {
			
			var THE_LAND:DryLand = new DryLand();
			addChild(THE_LAND);
			
			var SOMEGRASS:Grass = new Grass();
			addChild(SOMEGRASS);
			
			day4();
		}
		
		// DAY FOUR - God created light to rule the day, and lesser light to rule the night. Also made the stars
		private function day4():void {
			
			THE_LIGHT.startRotating();
			
			var THE_STARS:Stars = new Stars();
			addChild(THE_STARS);
			setChildIndex(THE_STARS, 0);

day5();
		}
		
		// DAY FIVE - God created every living creature that moveth "Be fruitful and multiply!"
		private function day5():void {
			
			var THE_WHALES:Whales = new Whales();
			addChild(THE_WHALES);
			
			day6();
		}
		
		// DAY SIX - God created man in his own image, followed by woman (Adam and Eve)
		private function day6():void {
			
			var ADAM:Man = new Man("male");
			addChild(ADAM);
			
			var EVE:Man = new Man("female");
			addChild(EVE);
			
			day7();
		}
		
		// DAY SEVEN - "By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy
		private function day7():Object {
			
			// Do nothing
			return null;
		}
		
	}
