Lesson 4

Review
- Homework
- Q and A
- "optimize me" examples and answers

New Concepts
- arrays
- real tweenlite integration
- functions functions functions
- loading images

Top Down Programming
- Imagine all your code was already written and you just need to write client code.
- Forget about things that don't matter
- break the problem down to its simplest parts
- think about the most important part of the problem FIRST

Bottom-up Programming


On the Fly Navigation
- I code a navigation on the fly using top down programming
- I'll implement all my functions using a combination of top-down and bottom-up.

Classes
- will likely have to wait till next week.


Homework
Design 10 functions you wish existed. Write more elegant top-down style functions for your current navigation.

Try to fix and optimize your nav for next week. Make your nav control either a pages movieClip or something else. If it makes sense add some images to your navigation - if it doesn't make sense I'll be uploading a file in the next couple of days that you can try and add images to.
