Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhction Script 3

I am finding Action Script 3 a bit of a chore every time I use it, and considering that I creating the final artifact in this exam project with the latest Flash CS3, I have to start understanding code in this language. Here's a useful video for any beginner:

A quality new project which I have thought about incorporating into my exam project, recording the DJ and projecting that onscreen with other audiovisual imagery.

Exam Project Idea - Audio Visual War Logo Idea

Im sure you all remember the Budweiser Frogs, this advert is a great influence on my Exam project logo idea. I am entitling my project Audio Visual Wars , abbreviated to AVW; my idea involves around animating these three letters in a similar, diagetic sound based animation as the Budweiser frogs. This will also give a clear hint towards what the concept of the game is:

"Visuals triggered by audio, audio triggered by a DJ, all of which add up to an exciting audiovisual experience. DJ's must combine their mixing skills together, with each DJ representing a specific layer of a song e.g. Bass, Drums, Riffs etc.

Together they produce semi random visuals via the complex coding in Flash and as each layer is brought in, visuals representative of the audio layer are brought it also. 

As well as visuals being triggered by the audio, a rhythm slowly forms and the DJ's work together, improvising, to create an interesting track, this is the new era of digital and musical jam bands"
