April+2010

~ thanks to Judi for all of her help trying to get pause/play to work properly when using narration, thought I had updated the template, maybe not????!!!! ~ all pause/play issues fixed (I hope) ~depth layers addressed when dragging words in sc 3 ~upoption buttons no longer enabled after selected. ~ who knows how many other picky little details, documented in the review file. ~ also chatted with Crystal re CAG wording when narration could be playing when continue shows.
 * April 30 ~ Comparing Temperatures** ( the name has been changed again!) is finally done ( at least for now), back to Judi for a second review
 * Helpful Hint:**

if (this._parent.usingNarration) { showcontinue(false) } else { showcontinue //since this deactivates the pause/play button// // }

Also, you need to be judicious about whether or not to include the _global. animation pause in the inti object of the transform class. There are some things that you do NOT want to be affected by the pause/play button and other things that you do want to be affected. I hadn't thought thoroughly about this before. Maybe still need to think about it some more! :)
