Final Test

Okay, here's what the final will cover (I'll be going over this in class on May 8):

Chapter 3: Constructing Actionscript
Chapter 4: Functions
Chapter 7: Arrays
Chapter 11: Strings
Chapter 13: Using Display Objects
Chapter 14: Movieclips
Chapter 15: Drawing Programmatically
Chapter 17: Filters
Chapter 19: Text Fields
Chapter 21: Mouse and Key Events
Chapter 26: Sound
Chapter 27: Video

The test will NOT cover anything in Part 7 of the book (such as XML), though I have been going over some of that material in class for those who want to know about it.

Hangman Code

function makePhrases():Void {

myPhrases[3] = "Tank the game, rules";

var phraseToUse = Math.floor(Math.random()*myPhrases.length);
return phraseToUse;

trace(myPhraseToUse);
function makeBoxes():Void {
var letterSpotX:Number = 25;
var letterSpotY:Number = 100;

_root.attachMovie("letterMC", "letter_"+i, i, {_x:letterSpotX, _y:letterSpotY});
_root["letter_"+i].letterBox.text = myPhrases[myPhraseToUse].charAt(i);
letterSpotX += 25;
