 Your Week #5 ADVANCED TO-DO assignment should be posted here in this thread only. If you have specific questions about the week 1 course text then please also post them in this thread so that other students can learn from the information.

You can earn *up to 25* Script School activity points for turning in your ADVANCED to-do assignment. Your advanced to-do assignment will be graded on such things as completeness, attention to detail, creativity, originality, ingenuity and effort.

Here is the details on what you need to do for this assignment:

Use Arrays to hold a series of image links. Create a 'slide show' that shows a new image every 5 seconds.
Show different sets of images, which are adjusted for Gamma, according to their platform - Windows or Apple.
(Images are much 'brighter' on Apples)

// We assume that Apples are identified by the platform string containing "Apple".

var isApple = false;
if (uPlatform.indexOf("Apple") >= 0)
{
isApple = true;
}

/* We create 2 arrays of image names: one for Apple
and one for everything else (Win32, Unix, WebTV, OS/2, Playstation, ...).
*/
var imageLinks=new Array("thnMartini.jpg","thnSpiral1.jpg",
"thnWorm.jpg","thnWorm2.jpg");
var AimageLinks=new Array("thnMartiniA.jpg","thnSpiral1A.jpg",
"thnWormA.jpg","thnWorm2A.jpg");
/* We create one array of images appropriate to the platform.

var imageArray=new Array();
var counter;
for(counter=0; counter < imageLinks.length; counter++){
imageArray[counter]=new Image();

imageArray[counter].src=AimageLinks[counter];

}
counter = 0;
/* This function is called once every 5 seconds to rotate images.

function imageSwap() {
document.slide.src=imageArray[counter].src;
if (++counter == imageArray.length) {
counter = 0;

// This sets the interval (5 seconds).

 Very nicely done, very logical, quick code!!! Thanks for participating in the class!!! As soon as the Activity Points thing is fixed, You will get quite a few to trade in for books, etc at the end of the year!!! Happy coding!
I hope sometime You will be able to make it into the live chat room on Fridays (2:00 PM pacific time) and get to know some of the other folks at script school!!! www.scriptschool.com/radio && www.scriptschool.com/commons (for a Java chat client) It took me a long time before I realized that a large portion of what goes on at scriptschool takes place in the weekly live radio show and the chat room... 2 hours of fun and madness!!! Meet other programmers and webmasters, discuss work, and share current news that affects the computer world... I guess You did mention that You've checked out the archives... Hope You can make a live show sometime && perhaps call in... I would be very glad if the other folks have a chance to pick up some of Your 'smarts'... (not that they're 'dumb' or anything - but I think they would really benefit from hearing from a serious 'student')
Thanks Again
