**Dec 17** ~ AM Christmas Breakfast and board time -tested Int Comp Movie for Ross... managed to break it.. sorry! worked til 5:30 made up 1 of the hours I owe! I know I worked on this activity all day, but two days later, cannot for the life of me remember what I actually did! - started to add ubWait code to scene 5... ubOption buttons... not doing something right as the yellow rectangle does not appear where it should, also need to incorporate a next question button wait code. - changed "New cities" button in Scne 5 to " Try another" but that does not seem to be quite the right wording. I owe clips 1.5 hours to make my half day. - Half day personal day - taking Sean to Sick Kid's - consult with J re several rows... making progress.. still lots to do. ~swapped in revised audio ~ sent to Judy...she says she could not find anything wrong with it! Yeah!!! That is one more activity finished for CLIP2! ~ Team meeting re January Flashfest, progress of Clip 2 ~ pulled files together for Sean so he can work on audio ~ dealt with some email - repositioned the buttons and some other elements of the stage. - consulted with Judy re text. - two things left to do... swap in the new audio recorded by Karen - fix the submit button error that happens when you drag an answer in then out of the box. - sent off to Ross to add a "full screen" version of the movie - also spoke with Judy about the actual movie... she would like it to be redone to incorporate the new titles and buttons. Left it in her ball park to script the changes she would like. She will let me know when they are ready... not til the new year. Then I will get Sean and Karen to remake the movie. - talked to Judy about 5.4.2 storyboarding questions - chatted with Judy for quite a while to determine exactly what cases she wants to appear in the quiz.. we now have a 15 question quiz rather than a 10 question quiz with an entirely different set of parameters for generating the questions! - so I began working on implementing these changes... just barely started... revamped generate Type function to keep track of which cases have been used... the bigger task for tomorrow is to actually get it to generate the desired conditions - got the rescaling issues from Dec 3 working properly... found lots of state and button interaction pieces to fix..eg. enter some invalid input.. then press new... then try to change the number line orientation.. had forgotten to update the valid input flags when the new button was hit.. so graph change was not being allowed.... I found a number of these type of interaction issues and fixed them.. hope I got them all.. but there are so many.. backwards compatibility is challenging! - resized the buttons since the rescale one was overlapping the vertical magnifier - talked to Ross about all the wrapper type issues... he is going to make an " enlarge movie" button, once everything else is set. - fingers crossed that Judy will like the changes! - chatted with JD... changed REset Scale buton to say "Change Scale", she is okay with how it functions in the open number line state. - She would like the "new button" to respect the scale of the number line even in the open number line state... started working on this.. have integers being generated appropriately.. but the plotPoints function is programmed to determine a scale based on the integer values.. so need to force this to behave differently.. same solution as needed in the rescaling case mentioned above, I think ~ team chat re parsing integer expresssions... what form of input to accept.. how to display ~chat with Mel re timing for upcoming flashfests in order to get our 6.75 hours = 1 day to work nicely if we are only allowed to claim time to the nearest half day. AM - Secondary Program Team meeting PM - copying Marian Small video for Grade 7/8 teachers, office time - **Integer Comparison Tool** - reset scale working in horizontal direction for all cases, both enlarging and shrinking.. still need to add a few things to the code to get the enlargement part happening for the vertical case. - revised the " new" button so that is respects the currently visible number line - a couple questions about how both these options should work for the open number line.. need to chat with JD - team meeting in the PM re follow up from flashfest weekend as well as status of CL005 - meeting with Judy, Greg and Crystal re moving forward with CL007 and CL008
 * Dec 23 ~** organized Christmas work for Clips kids, supervised Miss Karen... this makes up my last 1/2 hour of owed time. (plus some, but I won't count that)
 * PM ~ 5.2.2 Comparing Temperatures** - Done and Sent to JD!
 * -** refined the ubWait code, esp on scene 5, minor tweaks and lots of testing.
 * Dec 16 ~ 5.2.2 Comparing Temperatures -** got help from Ross with the wait code, esp the ubWait buttons in Scene 5(disenabling the option buttons meant the onRelease could not fire), and scene 4 (killFlash was interfering with ubWait)
 * Dec 15 ~ 5.2.2 Comparing Temperatures** - revised the logic for scene 5 so that each city appear at least once in the first 3 questions, this seemed the simplest way to avoid duplication of cities as per thre reveiw request.
 * Dec 14 ~ Judy -** re Counter Act review
 * Ross ~** re Integer Comparison Tool Video, exand button
 * ~** reviewed 5.2.1 audio for sean, fixed the one sound that was tinny, tried to amplify another without much luck, sent back to Greg to see if it is okay
 * ~ Comparing Temperatures -** working through the review... added a frame in scene 2 so the definition of ascending could be narrated.
 * Dec 13 ~ BHCDSB -** working on my Moodel, K- 12 consultants meeting, office stuff.
 * Dec 10 ~ Comparing Integers Quiz** - found and fixed the logic error that was causing the submit button to think there was an answer when there in fact was not.
 * Dec 9 ~ Comparing Integers Quiz -** got all the logic for the selection of integers to work
 * Dec 8 ~ Integer Comparison Tool** - made last few changes requested by Judy.
 * Comparing Integers Quiz -** made a number of cosmetic changes requested in the review
 * Dec 7 ~ BHNCDSB -** Marian Small
 * Dec 6 ~ Integer Comparison Tool**
 * -** finished review revisions, back to Judy for approval.
 * Dec 3 ~** 1/2 day sick day - doctor's appt
 * ~ Integer Comparison tool** - got rescaling to work for the vertical number line, except for the case where it changes from the 100's number line to an open number line.
 * ~** sent CL008 swfs and google doc review to JD
 * Dec 2: BHNCDSB**
 * Dec 1:**
