Lab #5

Here it be

I wasn't sure how to gracefully implement the play and pause buttons, they work pretty intuitively so I didn't think a legend for them was necessary. Also, are the graphics supposed to loop? I think it's pretty nifty.

Yes yes my link of the week is going to be after I finished the lab, whoops :x

Lab #4

Lab 4 here!

This lab was INFURIATING. No matter how many times I messed with certain states, you simply COULD NOT SET THE FILL TO BLANK. In my 1992 map, New Jersey, Maryland and Connecticut are white, and I tried everything I vaguely knew how to do to try to set the fill accordingly but noooo.
There are a few other errors with the fills of states (like Tennessee >_<)
Also, when I set North Carolina's fill, Rhode Island would randomly pop up in the middle of the state. Anyone else have that problem? I thought that was awfully weird.

But! My checkboxes work perfectly, the western and southern states (you know, the ones that didn't change their votes much) look appropriate, all my action scripts worked perfectly the first time I tried to implement them. Awesome.

Now I guess I should go get to work on my Objects that Morph post...

Map of the Week! (4)

I know this is right after my last map post, but this one is to accompany lab 4.
So I just found this map, on my bank's website! It's cute and well organized, reader friendly, and professional. I was actually a little surprised.

Map of the Week (3)

Just a basic zoom map of Afghanistan. But National Geographic did it, so you know it's top notch...

Lab 3!

Lab 3 here!

Ugh that was tedious, I had to move my forward and backward buttons, therefore needing to go back and redo all their action scripts.

My text that says "Superbowl" is supposed to be a button, I have no idea why it doesn't work as I made it the same way as all the other buttons (expanded the "hit" field for it) but to no avail. D:

Everything else works nicely.

Lab #2

Here it is! Ta Da!.

I was having trouble with my website before, I found a much better walkthrough for setting up Mason webspace, check it out if you're having any trouble.

Link of the week (2)

On this website there's a simple map of the world that you can click and drag to see the breakup of Pangaea, programmed in about 8 lines of Javascript (see the source code).

I know it's not Flash, but it's a similar concept and shows a good crude interactive map that gets its point across.

Lab #1

Thanks for waiting! Here it is.

I've really gotten too attached to the black background thing. I just really prefer it for digital viewing, easier to read, easier on the eyes. Lab 2 on the way shortly.
