Interactive Game...Version #1!

I have completed a very simplistic version to test the ActionScript to move the character and catch a piece of falling food and eat it. This now works on the carrot using a timer and hit object function. Therefore the next step is to transfer this code to all of the food types. I will also think about ways to develop this simple version such as having a list of foods that have to be collected making up certain food groups or adding up to certain amounts of calories for example.

Useful CSS when using drop downs...

This definition helped to allign the content under the drop down menu and may come in handy to others. Check the z-index the underneath content must be lower!

Definition

The z-index property sets the stack order of an element. An element with greater stack order is always in front of another element with lower stack order.

Note: Elements can have negative stack orders.

Note: Z-index only works on elements that have been positioned (eg position:absolute;)!

Inherited: No


Example

img
{
z-index: -1
}

Possible Values

auto - Default The stack order is equal to its parents
number - Sets the stack order of the element


In our HTML DOM tutorial you can also find a full Style Object Reference.

Main Page....Flash Version!

The grey strip across the top will hold navigation tabs for the other pages and will be added when I transfer the flash into Dreamweaver pages. But at the moment all that is part completed are the main 4 pages, which can be navigated to from the squares.

Menu

The bullet points will be buttons which will make a scroll controlled text box appear with the menu items to view. There will also be an image added representing the section of the menu you are in.

Drinks

The bullet points will be buttons which will make a scroll controlled text box appear with the drink items to view. There will also be an image added representing the type of drink section you are viewing.

About us

To be added is an image of students drinking in the bar.

Location

A map and link will be added as well as an image of the outside of the bar.
