High
Investigate sound and continue button issues with older activities 1.4.2, 3.6.1, http://screencast.com/t/5GGxIwvvUwO ubWait be sensitive to numPad Enter key Skip Counting Tool and related classes changes ubTabContainer development think about resetWait on other items in waitFor Array so that flashing of the second waits fulltime after first interacted with. Wrapper WIBNIs - see [|https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AoqM5nZKioH0dGliaFNMbVVYakFIdkxyUmxsYjR5Tnc&hl=en#gid=7] Update Activity Template - see Google Docs

**Medium** Add ability in ubMovieClipTransform to rotate about another point Check tools needed for next cluster(s) Look at Project Management Software Add information about keyboard accessibility to FAQs Review changes recommended for LGP clip in Research Report Review Contents of the Generic Envelope from JulyFest ubWait - pass an array of objects and draw a rectangle around the lot of them... register Intervals etc. in ubMovieClipTransform with new ListenersArray Trap error in Transform class - REMEMBER THAT THE SIMULATION CLASS CAN BE HUNG UP BY XCOORD AND YCOORD IF YOU TYPE THE OBJECT NAME INCORRECTLY IE DOES NOT EXIST
 * ubTextPicker add label property and reInitialize method
 * multiplying area model
 * Skip Counting Tool

Low
Fix ubConfigPanel to allow more than one to coexist peacefully on one scene Radian review and tools with JD ubSlider Investigate font wonkiness with 2nd sine in sci. calc Create AS3 Activity Template, figure out how to get download swf from swf links to work with external content, esp. AS 3 swfs Incorporating external content into wrapper Add getProp and setProp to ubOptionButton, ubTextPicker SVG parser for flash (see delicious)
 * try scoping externalCallback with this instead of null
 * figure out why IE/flash crashes so often on back
 * work on overlapping div layout with dragging
 * fix text on IE in ControlPanel
 * test whether user is online before displaying external content

//**Done**//

Whew! was that expensive Completed logic for movie playing - needed to create a relaxed skin with security setting and tested in locally (4 options), on isenegger (2) and OAME (2) Passed off to Crystal for inclusion in her pod on her great Less Than activity Greg re: emails, ubError, ubWait and ubButton (holy cool, batman) Amplified and edited 50 sounds for 5.3.1 || ubPod - completed resizeTo logic and testing with built-in setter functions and setProp using ubConfigPanel and Pod Team Meeting || ubPod - basic changes seem to fix Crystal's Integer Comparison Tool Pod issues || improved docs for ubConfigPanel, the example was really faulty tested adding @see to reference other classes - doesn't work - added some links to other classes - especially important if one class uses an initObj with properties from another one created ubPod tester with 3 or 4 important cases, including Integer Comparison Tool scene fixed previously unknown issue with floatToTop only working for guts of ubConfigPanel tracked sizing issue with Integer Comparison Tool to ubFraction creating 4000 pixel wide fields. Consulted with Greg and changed width to 1. consulted with Crystal re: Greater than Less Than activity Agnes re video formats for new video and logic of Integer Comparison Tool Investigate resizing flashes and issues with ubPod || completed logic for results audio and tested. Posted to FTP (let's say 21 hours - guessed 30) Agnes re:audio Crystal re: ubTable, ubFramedText, ubPod investigated and posted a better ubFramedText - still needs work investigated and posted a better ubPod - resizing works again, worried about flashes and whether it handles all the cases and whether the code can have less duplication || Agnes has noted problems with ubFramedText's backwards compatibility that need fixing. Looked at Greater than or Less than with Crystal (2.5 hours) - dug into ubTable and ubPod - realized that it is broken - resizing is not working - Agnes' 3.4 activity hurt a second time... Judy re: tech requirements So much for helping the pilgrim and getting C01 done by this morning... || Fixed logic error with custom card sets and aces. Thought my 5 am start might have got me farther. Diamond Drop (mostly fixing wrapper stuff to allow for a looping sound) Agnes' function-based method of doing sound is brilliant - all the sound in one place - worth thinking about. Created a more elegant approach to "pseudo-play button" actions and communicated with team. Fixed activequiz issue that new scene_selector introduced but no one noticed. Crystal re textpicker || Crystal says it is much, much, much better || 1:00 Team Meeting re: OctoberFest, Expected Progress Wrote SVE || Pick up Lauren for trip home || Made the one change to 2.2 and calling it done and ready for metareview. Tested parameters on URL and works this morning - weird Set up isenegger to allow for testing of external content. Changed index.html to allow version=XXX parameter and uploaded a selection of previous wrappers. Added a callback to flash indicating that the Close button was pressed. Used that to advance activity to next frame and to clear textbox. Not sure why it seems to be doing the former for activities that it was not defined to do that for - maybe it is the global definition? Working on Column Titles for matrix, changed to 4-6 and generated dynamically. Travel to GPCs in aft. Prepare Google Doc for meeting, read research || Got external content really cooking for Friday demo. Crystal re: Audio Judy, Greg and Mel re: Agenda for Friday Greg and Mel re: Audacity || Greg - re: incorporating them in new Setup pod for the wrapper Agnes - re: inserting audio in Diamond drop Crystal - re: recording audio and font tags Have to decide what to do with mathclips.ca - put up with wrong favicon, see if they can add code to their page, or change to more direct redirection (oame addresses showing) || Change Scene 5 to give clearer feedback, esp. for incorrect Various fixes - spelling and positioning Greg: re priorities etc. Redo docs with updated classes || Updated audio in 2.2 Added New Cities button to 4 scenes. Scene 2 was a bugger since it had to do different things depending how far along the user was. In the other scenes, it was just a call to the randomize function and a simulate of the replay scene button:
