Subject: --- READ and HEED Hello CS 1010 students (12:30 TTh), ---- ---- http://www.cs.uni.edu/~jacobson/1010/fl/FlashIntrosAssign2011.html. now includes a new link to the complete version of the assignment, i.e. to the version that includes a FOUR CORNERS animation where you see all of the JPG or GIF photos or graphics files at the same time. If you make a photo 50% of its original size, the photo will take up exaclty 25% of the stage and can go either: Upper Left corner (Northwest) Washington Upper Right corner (Northeast) Maine and Vermont and Massachusetts Lower Left corner (Southwest) or Arizona and California Lower Right corner (Southeast) Florida (Flo Rida) and Georgia 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25 = 1/4 Be sure HEIGHT and WIDTH are LOCKED together to constrain the proportions. --------- The new link is: http://www.cs.uni.edu/~jacobson/1010/fl/finalVersion/FlashIntro4corners.html You can find it from, and you MUST carefully study and take notes on the following assignment resource page: http://www.cs.uni.edu/~jacobson/1010/fl/FlashIntrosAssign2011.html BICTION: The best way to prepare for the next exam and to do this assignment in the fewest number of hours: Consume some ink and scratch paper. BIC pen. If the INK don't flow, the understanding don't GROW. This is the best and most efficient way to prepare now for the final exam as well. If you do this assignment the right way, you will NOT have to study as much for the final exam. Treat an assignment like an EXAM. Make sure you understand and appreciate everything before and as you do it. Understand the WHAT and the HOW. VET SAT AUC TVV SO YMDC http://www.cs.uni.edu/~jacobson/1010/1st5weeksCS1010.html I did NOT include the "_self" in the navigateToURL() statement, so the www.cs.uni.edu/ web page comes up in a separate browser window. Obviously, the "_self" opens the web page in the same window that the Flash application was running in. Either way is okay, but now you know what "_self" does, and what the DEFAULT is when you do NOT speciify the navigateToURL() method to use. EL as in Elle Woods. addEventListener() is legal! Corrent syntax. addeventlistener() is illegal... AddEventListener() is NOT legally blonde... addEVENTListener() is illegal.... Obey the ActionScript 3.0 compiler and the syntax laws. E and L are the only two upper CaSe letters in addEventListener. Who or what needs to have an Event Listener added? What would that thing be listening for? What happens when it hEARS that event with it EARS? What two things go between the ()s? skip_btn.addEventListener( ??? , ??? ); Mark
