October 2009
//R Oct 8 (2 hrs) Looked at CL001Video Fullscreen issue (simple) and m4v download issue (needs more work in Resources) S/S Oct 10, 11 (2 hrs) Wrestled with Resources and sound. It turns out that no files download locally - they all come from OAME, which doesn't like the m4v - tried to make the download failure spawn a download from isenegger, with no luck. T Oct 13 (2 hrs) Suspect that the second download doesn't work because flash allows only one at a time. Nothing I have tried yet has worked. W Oct 14 (3 hrs) Implemented pod and download progress bar for resources R Oct 15 (2 hrs) up early to work on pods etc. Later, with Greg's help have it pretty much licked - until someone tests it better... F Oct 16 Pick up Greg and head to OctoFlash. Great to see everyone. Finished Resource.txt files, Tweaks to various classes. S Oct 17 OctoFlash - up early to "finish" ubPod max/min rollovers - lot's of fun helping folks - slider coming along beautifully S Oct 18 Tidied up ubPod and Downloads - documented, emailed team, posted to isenegger, OAME T Oct 20 Tested new zip file and got out the steel-toed boots. Created v193 to implement Judi's fix for tooltip resizing, activequiz calls and first time scene count not visible. Uploaded to source, isenegger, OAME//

June 2009
June 26 - July 5 Revamped Activity Template, created new wrapperCommom.as to replace miniclips_01.as which is used by both the miniwrapper and the mainwrapper - meaning that code only needs to be touched once. The new Activity Template uses capitals, the new scene selector and a new activities_01.as file. The activities_01.as file has been thoroughly documented with ZenDocs and new functions have been written to make tracing, adding sound and setting pause settings easier. Standalone activities will now have a mask so that they don't bleed through in non-fullscreen settings. They have a podLayer as well. The mask for the main wrapper was changed to only mask the scene, so that pods on the podLayer will rise above. The activity level was moved way to the top of the stack - this breaks tooltips, but Heather's new Transform class will have a function written to fix that. Created some standard scenes to test Activities - including sound, pause settings, sound effects, pods, masking. Changed activity_start, activity_end, clips_end to give a few more frames of invisibility to avoid "flashing" effect, especially on replay scene. Made the calculator a single object on its timeline so the same .fla can be used to create the minicalc in the miniwrapper and the calculator.swf for inclusion in the main wrapper. The sound effects and sound sliders are not exactly working in the main wrapper.
