Work on Project

In Class Thur Mar 20th

Lets look at what we need to make a Flash website again!
- SWFs on different levels that bring up and take away content as it is needed.
- Interaction can happen through keystrokes or buttons activated by the mouse.
- you will need the loadmovienum, unloadmovienum, geturl, on & stop actionscript commands
- all SWF's need to be the same size and frame rate (fps)
- 'Levels' stack from level 0 on the bottom to level 999 on the top. Level 0 controls the size and fps of the SWF's on all the other levels


More Advanced ActionScript
- variables var = ?
- lets randomize things random(#);
- test for action if (comparison) { statement }


ex. a = random(9)+1;

ex. x = random(50) - random(y);

ex. z = random(x)-y+10;
