Roll the dice! Dice: Random numbers,
pip symbols, someKindOfButton_btn.addEventListener( whatEvent,
whatFunction), etc. How and why could a Symbol have and need
its own Actions layer? dieSymbol has 6 keyframes and 21 pip symbols
total! In its faces layer. Please review this material, though
much of it is a PREVIEW of things to be explained later on too.
The main topics in today's class (05/14/08) were:
1. Explaining the if statement that was not explained
very well on Tuesday and needed more time and a better example.
2. Developing an application to illustrate the
if ( condition ) {
TRUE ACTIONS
} else {
FALSE ACTIONS
}
discussion from day #2, Tuesday's class.
3. Textbox or Text tool and the Property Inspector choices
Static Text
Dynamic Text
Input Text
An application that required all three TYPEs of Textbox.
userNumber_txt for the user of our Flash application to
enter a number, such as 22 or 205 or 322 or 138.
Type: Input Text
out_txt for reporting whether the number was
an EVEN or an ODD number. Type: Dynamic Text
Unnamed Text tool created Textboxes to just describe or label
what userNumber_txt is for and what the application does,
and how to use it, etc.
Type: Static Text
CHECK BACK TO THIS PAGE LATER to see more about today's
example, which included a button named:
processNumber_btn
4. Using the MOD operator to illustrate the if statement.
var n : int;
n = 97;
if (97 % 2 == 0) {
evenOrOdd_txt.text = "EVEN";
} else {
evenOrOdd_txt.text = "ODD";
}
