Dress Animation
Dress Flash
Play sound in Flash MX: It is very easy to create music in Flash. First, create a new layer for the sound file, rename it as audio. Second, click on flash 8 menu : Enter "Import" - "Import to Library", find the sound file and enter"open". Third, open the library and drag the sound file to the audio layer which have been made.
Flash Actionscript: A Stop action is the most simple form of Actionscript. When it applied to our keyframe in Flash, the movie will stop completely on that frame.
An Example: on (release), tellTarget() and gotoAndStop().

Lesson work
Lesson Work: Your comments are most welcome!
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.
