Reflection on this Flash:
Problem:
1.Text covered on the bottons.
2. Poor effect of buttons.

Improvement:
1. Buttons could be improved.
2. Text could not cover the button.
3. Background colour could be added.
4. Larger buttons.


Refelection on Reading:
According to Bederson & Shneiderman (2003), information visulization is a research aiming at supporting discovery and analysis of data through visual exporation. Nowadays, Interative techniques are capable of handling a million items effectively visible and manageable on screen. For example:

1. Hardware acceleration: achieve the speed required for interation and animation.

2. Non-standard visual attributes: synthetic overlap count to enhance visulization.

3. Animation and interaction: using time multiplexing techniques to analyze the data across several views.

4. Applied techniques to treemaps and scatter plots.

5. Other techniques: Image Library, drag and drop strategy for labelling photos, extensible zoomable user interface graphics toolkit in Java, a hierarchical multi window world wide web browser, photofinder web, and zoomable user interfaces.

Hi, Ronda,

I think your flash is great. But be careful to the text covered on the button. It seems that it affects the mouseover effect of your button.

Try to mouse over the text on the button and you will find the problem.
