The UI Components chapter is Chapter 9 in the CS3 textbook but Chapter 10 in the CS4 textbook. The individual exercises are pretty straightforward though there is some coding involved.
Complete the chapter and turn in the following exercises:
- CS3 (7 exercises): p. 395, Using the Button component; p. 404, ComboBox component; p. 411, NumericStepper component; p. 412, ProgressBar component; p. 415, ScrollPane component; p. 416, Slider component; p. 417; TextArea component (though, p. 420, UILoader component, is a nicer example than TextArea component, truth be told).
- CS4 (7 exercises): p. 497, Adding Button events; p. 509, ComboBox component; p. 515, NumericStepper component; p. 516, ProgressBar component; p. 520, ScrollPane component; p. 521, Slider component; p. 522; TextArea component (though, p. 525, UILoader component, is a nicer example than TextArea component, truth be told).
Also, please review Chapter 4, “ActionScript Basics”.
We will be working to create the interactive slide shows during the April 2 class.
