Lesson 8

Homework:
Take the gallery we created in class... add your own images, change up the xml to include some descriptive text and make the navigation scroll vertically instead of horizontally.

Remember to try and add each feature one step at a time (like we did in class).

After you've completed your homework... have a look at this slightly more advanced gallery tutorial: http://www.learningactionscript3.com/2008/12/12/grids-image-gallery/

Lesson 6

Functions
Q & A

Visual Functions
- using dynamic variables, events and functions together

Procedural Pattern Navigation
- a pattern for creating simple site navigations

Mini-Site Review
- Review a small website that makes use of the techniques
covered in class

Homework:
Think of 10 functions that you wish were already part of flash. For example:

// draws a diamond that has a width and height of 10 pixels
drawDiamondShape(10,10);

You don't need to actually make the function work. Just write the function call (like above)

In the function_website.fla you'll notice that there is one version with a bunch of empty functions. I want you to create a mini-website... just two or three buttons and a few basic elements (similar to the one from class). Then think about all the different functions you would need to write to make that site work - you don't actually need to make the functions work, just write the names of them (like I did in the functions_website.fla).

You should also continue to practice writing functions - try to invent a few more "visual functions." (See all the fla files with the same name)
