Title: Systems of Linear Equations Subjects: Physics Algebra Developer: gswan View Movie: jones_swan.swf Download: jones_swan.fla Description: This simulation allows the user to change the initial velocities, position and start time for two vehicles on a straight road. A birds ey view of the the two vehicles is show while a position time graph is generated.

Title: Doppler Effect Subjects: Physics Developer: gswan View Movie: doppler.swf Download: doppler.fla Description: The user can set the speed of an object relative to the speed of sound (0 = not moving, 1 = traveling at the speed of sound, < 1 travelling < the speed of sound ect.) The sound wavs emenatting from the source can be used to explain the doppler effect.

Title: Mouse Drag Widget Subjects: Flash Resources Developer: gswan View Movie: Mouse_drag.swf Download: Mouse_drag.fla Description: This gives an example how developers can reate movie clip objects that a user can drag across the screen with their mouse. The method used in this movie is to nest a button inside a movie clip. The on press start drag / on release stop drag actions are attached to the button. Common problems when doing this are with the start drag and using this or parent as a parameter for the function.

Title: Mouse follow example Subjects: Flash resources Developer: gswan View Movie: follow_mouse.swf Download: follow_mouse.fla Description: This example shows how a movie clip can be made to react to the position of the mouse. This movie has a function on the stage that defines the commands for following the mouse. The function is called by the movie clip on the stage within an onClipEvent Load handler.

Title: creating Snap-To areas with droptarget Subjects: Flash Resources Developer: gswan View Movie: droptarget.swf Download: droptarget.fla Description: Create "snap to" areas on the screen. When a user drags an object over the correct spot it jumps to the cent of the mark. Anywhere outside of the correct area and the object jumps back to its starting point.
