A loud clap of thunder

There should be a loud clap of thunder immediately following the sizzle sound as the scene reverts to something similar to that shown in Figure 1.

The moon

Throughout all of this, the moon should continue to move very slowly from left to right across the scene. When it reaches the right edge of the scene, it shouldwrap around and start over on the left side.

Discussion and sample code

The project file structure

The final project file structure, captured from the FlashDevelop project window, is shown in Figure 3.

Project file structure for lighteningstorm01.

Missing image.
Project file structure for LighteningStorm01.

As you can see in Figure 3, all of the sound and image files are stored in the folder named src . In addition, all of the sound files were manually copied into the folder named bin .

Will explain in fragments

I will explain the code for this program in fragments. Complete listings of the MXML code and theActionScript code are provided in Listing 16 and Listing 17 near the end of the lesson.

The MXML code

The MXML code is shown in Listing 16. As is often the case in this series of lessons, the MXML file is very simple because the program was codedalmost entirely in ActionScript. The MXML code simply instantiates an object of the Driver class. From that point forward, the behavior of the program is controlled by ActionScript code.

The ActionScript code

Beginning of the Driver class

The Driver class begins in Listing 1.

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
