Updates to first course about Mozilla Thunderbird
Today I uploaded an updated version of course #1 for Mozilla Thunderbird. Now section “Basic Setup” has been updated and now has contents in section Background Information “About News”, not just in “About Email”. All others are still empty. Please note that navigation within these two audio-supported parts still does not work. You may scroll within the audio, but the screenplay won’t be in sync then, unless you get to the next audio “cue point event” when the screen will be synchronized with what’s playing again. Working on it - only a simple matter…
Update 8 July: Small design updates to this first course (e.g. to the nav buttons, make them simpler); volume bar works now.
Update 9 July: Play controls work (seeking, forward, back); Added a “return” button to the still empty menu points (only “Installation” and “Basic Setup” of the Thunderbird course have contents thus far), until now you where stuck if you navigated there.
Update 10 July (very late 9 July, really): Added “Basic Configuration” -> “Background Information” -> “About RSS” section. I found navigation does not work relliably - because I use gotoAndPlay (Actionscript 2.0 code). With gotoAndStop it would work. This is because I have a frame-by-frame setup, with stepping forward triggered by the video/audio file (”cuepoints”). I found if I add one more (non-key)frame for each of those frames it works, have to do that or find another workaround. Flash is full of surprises and unexpected behavior…
Update 10 July: Now navigation should *really* work.
