Becca's Flash Programming Summary

Becca Mon 7/10
So Flash is a little more confusing than i thought it would be. I created a few layers but could not get the original one to stop flashing.I was able to decifer some of the other code from the PreRetro program but pretty useles at translating it for the new movie i was making.

Ok so i miraculously got the movie to work....i really don't know how or why it is working, but it is. it's only flashing 8 words. i started adding more words to it but that got it not working again. So hopefully i can figure that out tomorrow.

At one point i had all of the words flashing individually but could not get them to stop repeating.At least the rest of the program works, i just need to play around some more with the function ChooseShape. I might need some help to get it working properly.

working with flash is getting easier. i created a page or the movie where the subject can enter in the words they recall. And now i'm writing a program to check those entered words against the real list. It's coming along.

got some more programming done today. I can now check the lists against the actaul input words from the subject. kinda stuck on the declaring each wordtext in an array instead of each being an individual variable.
