Assignment:
Create an interactive animation using Action Script in Flash with a small bouncing object (box) inside the larger object (cube).
Cube and box are just examples here – create your own objects to deliver the idea of confinement.
The concept of this assignment revolves around the idea of being constrained in a box. The box is a metaphor for the physical, social, political or psychological constraints that we and/or others place upon us. The box also represents a sense of place in the realm of the virtual as well as in our conscience.
