June 30 ~ Kempenfelt prep:completed Instructions for Drag, onPress, onRelease, added a WaitTime function, tidied up some of the scene transitions email : latest fractions stuff from Judi, new Integer storyboard from Trish June 29 ~ last day of school! KEmpenfelt prep: finished alpha explanation, got drag, onPress, onRelease, scene to work, need to program instructions for this part next Board office - mass and calendar dates for next year, photocopied integer story boards for Kempenfelt. Sun June 28 ~ Kempenfelt prep - created an example of how to move and resize mc using both tweens and action script.

June 26 ~ Code which should have faded the alpha of a movie clip from 0% to 100% was actually only getting to an alpha of 75%. Worked with Judi to discover that FLASH has a rounding error when using alpha. A fade factor of 1.04 was actually being calculated to be .78125. That is a pretty big rounding error. Team meeting re planning for Kempenfelt. Worked on Movie clip training materials. (positioning, dimensions, setInterval, alpha) June 25 ~ Exp Diff Rep Tool, First click action happening and clearing for points on the trend line. Made plans with Judi re Integer Storyboard requirements. Began work on developing some teaching materials about MovieClips for Kempenfelt June 24 ~ Exp diff Rep tool, set up an onPress function for the trend line so that I can animate points other than 2 or 3. Integer Story boards - made list of techniques needed to program PM ~ Board office June 23 ~ Exp Diff Rep Tool: Greg helped me get the movie clips cleared, Point 2 and 3 are all working perfectly! (I think) Working on generalizing the functionality to any point on the line. After talking with Greg, I have a plan in place. Team meeting re Summer Flashfest June 22~ Exp Diff Reps, first 3 stages now working in tandem, so you can see both points at the same time. Difficulty clearing out the third click movie clips.
