Lets see, I had tons of problems this time- not with the assignment, but with computer crashes- on 2 different computers! So frustrating, I was throwing things, and yelling like a 5 year old. Anyway, I made 3 different IK's, but this link is to my shape IK. This Cthulhu spawn creature kinda dictated the sounds I used. The waves and eerie screech were to set the apocalyptic scene, and this is also a lesson in bone connecting. I connected the tentacles to a central point in the head which pulled said head like taffy when I animated it. I left it this way, as I liked the effect, and as a lesson learned. The bitmap importing was no big deal, but I don't have photoshop, which the book seems most concerned with. The tutorials were helpful as always, though after following and doing a simplified version of the "puppet", Flash crashed, so I started again, it crashed again, so I started again, it crashed. So I tried again later on a different computer, it crashed. Sensing a pattern? Yup. Anyway, onward towards actionscript I suppose.
