Study guide and outline of topics

DONE - As of 8:36 p.m. web page is finished - DONE

Last change or addition: 8:32 pm Tuesday evening

Added the sunny.txt link to help for ls, ls -l, pwd, cd, cd .. command understanding.

Cancel the Dreamweaver what happens when you type the < symbol in DW - it will NOT be on the test one.

Extensive material below here to help you study and review Flash from your Chapter 07 project. Flash intros with some extra Twirling or animated text during AND/OR at the end of the Flash intro.

  1. Chapter 07: Building Flash Intros - Part 3: Flash to Dreamweaver.

    1. It is assumed that you studied this FLASH INTROS and Classic Tweens rotating or animated text material extensively the last few weeks in class and lab sessions and in doing your project on Flash intros.

    2. How can you tell the difference between an EMPTY keyframe (KF) and a keyframe with some content? You should have seen these 26 keyframes many times in the last week or so. The web site for 810:022 is a READING ASSIGNMENT, especially when HW is assigned based upon it. Study it carefully, or rather review it again carefully if you already studied it!

      VIP: SnorgTees Example 

      Why frame #215 have code?  Where does Chapter 07 talk about that?

What code does frame #215 have in it?

Why is that frame #215 code not in a function package and why in the world
   is it not called by a MouseEvent.CLICK event?

How is the code in frame #1 similar to the code in frame #215?
How is it different?  Why?

Look at the Whirling Layer.  There are 3 KFs (KeyFrames) in the Whirling 
layer.  Where are those Keyframes at?

      Frame  80
      Frame 140
      Frame 215

Classic Tween is what would be used in Flash CS4
      to make all of these "Motion Tweens".  

       They are now called "CLASSIC TWEENS" in Flash Creative Suite 4 (CS4).

    3. Now watch the Fall 2008 SNORG TEES example after taking notes and studying the above questions and the page they are based upon.

    4. What happened with the Whirling layer Classic Tween? 
      Note:  KF 1 = frame  80 of Whirling layer
       KF 2 = frame 140 of Whirling layer
       KF 3 = frame 215 of Whirling layer
  
How many times does the SNORGTEES.COM text rotate from KF 1 to KF 2?
  
    CW or CCW?

How many times does the SNORGTEES.COM text rotate from KF 2 to KF 3?
   
    CW or CCW?
   
What other properties were changing 
             from KF 1 to KF 2 in that "Classic Tween"?     
   
      Was the size of the text changing?  Was it getting larger or smaller?

      Was the alpha changing?  Opaque and transparent.  

      From near transparent (alpha = 0% or 10% - does that ring a bell?)
        to fully opaque (alpha = 100%).

      Chapter 7 with fade in and fade out of images did EXACTLY THE SAME
          thing and had you change the alpha, but 
                        you used MOTION TWEEN CS4 approach 
                      instead of CLASSIC TWEEN CS$ approach.

      Your extra TEXT effect does NOT have to include rotating text.
          But if you do use rotating text, you will need to use the 
          CLASSIC TWEEN approach.  

      You do NOT have the option to rotate something CW or CCW with
          the Motion Tween approach, at least no easy way to do it.

  2. Chapter 08: Setting Up Flash Video - Part 3: Flash to Dreamweaver.

  3. Dreamweaver and Excel VBA macros homework questions: http://www.cs.uni.edu/~jacobson/22/HWAugust31st2009.pdf and be sure to read the questions carefully, especially the Dreamweaver question.

    1. I found the "Homework on Dreamweaver" question 2. answers.

    2. Wow! We have NOT done enough DW.

    3. Let us skip the Dreamweaver question until Test Two.

    4. I will hand back the Yellow Sheet with your Excel VBA question #1 and your Dreamweaver question #2 answers next week and give you some more background.

    5. So do NOT worry about the What happens when you the the < symbol when working in Dreamweaver?

    6. It will NOT be on test one!

  4. Excel Visual Basic for Applications = VBA macros.

    1. What is the output? Show the VBA macro output on the Excel spreadsheet questions test your understanding of Visual Basic for Applications and Excel. To see if you got it right, just start up Excel and type in the code to see if it produces the same output you did. Only do this AFTER you answer the question yourself, or it will do you very little good.

    2. Link to the converted Powerpoint EXCEL VBA 23 birthdays VBA macros lesson - the VBA code is the same, even though these slides are an older version of Excel (Excel 97 and Excel 2003). The VBA code is identical to the code for Excel 2007. When you look at the PowerPoint presentation, it will probably require the Internet Explorer web browser.

    3. Cells(whatRow, whatColumn).Value is identical to Range(whatGoesHere).Value - know how to convert from Cells(5, 8).Value code to (or from) Range("H5").Value and study this Excel VBA web page also for the Developer tab and how to get that to show up in the Ribbon for Excel 2007.

  5. Flash classic tweens experience from your 2nd Flash project is NOT included in Chapter 07, but it has been included in the class presentations and lab sessions. Keyframes, Alpha, Tint, Rotate, Layers, etc. .fla versus .swf versus .html versus .flv and what they mean in context of your first Flash video project. Making or understanding a Movie Clip symbol that has its own timeline. ActionScript 3.0 code for a button that navigates to a web page.

  6. The sunny.uni.edu Unix basic commands such as cd, mkdir, ls, ls -l, history, logout, cd .. will be familiar to you for the exam..

    7. Here is your pwd, cd, mkdir, ls, (ls -l) LS minusL, cd .. sunny.uni.edu commands study guide.
