Homework:
Study this post related to timeline vs document class stuff:
http://actionsnippet.com/?p=1931

Then try to take a small timeline code example either from the class files or something you've created on your own... you could also use something from actionsnippet.com... and try to convert it to a document class. Yes, you could cheat and just use my script to convert it but ...
1) I'll be able to tell if you used my script
2) You won't learn anything if you don't test yourself... to see if you can actually convert timeline code to document class code...

Do the reading if you haven't already... it's pretty important... go back and see all the reading links from all the former posts and if you haven't done them... slowly start working your way through them.

We should all have a class based version of our navigation for next week. If you have trouble doing this... make sure to bring in your broken class based navigation to the next class and we'll use debugging techniques to get it working....

We looked over a simple mini-gallery in week 7. The file is called min_gallery.fla. I want you to take this file and do two things:

1) try to make it nicer, add some TweenLite animation to it... and maybe some additional graphics and images.

2) Spend at least 1 hour trying to convert it to a class... I don't expect you to be able to do it necessarily... but you should REALLY spend some time trying to do it.
