商品簡介
Designed for a semester-long course or for self-study, this text explains how to use Flash to program online experiments and surveys that will be presented on multiple platforms. No previous knowledge of programming is required. Each chapter corresponds to one 3-hour class, with chapter material built around how-to instructions and code samples reproduced as they will appear in the Flash interface. Most chapters also include exercises. Meant to be read in order, the chapters progress from the Flash interface and ActionScript basics through questionnaire tools, recording reaction time, saving data, and putting the program online. The text's two-color layout features tip boxes, screenshots, and chapter links. Most examples are based on the Windows operating system, but it can also be used by Mac users. A website offers answers to exercises, plus data for use with the book's projects. Weinstein is affiliated with Washington University in St. Louis.
