Sliders & Images

[Randy Hengst]

Hi Heather,

I just woke up and saw this thread and it looks like you've received plenty of good advice already. I'm a relative rookie at all this, but thought I'd share an example that might give you some ideas.

I used a slider in program to help students practice telling time -- the slider is used to select the game. The slider values were set from 1 to 4. The movement of the slider changed the label of a button that denoted the game to be selected. Then on the mouseUp the game settings were put into place.

take care,
