8:00 – 5:30 VISIBILITY

  • Working with getting XML to produce an ImageScreen. Getting images now, need to work with organizing next.
  • It turns out that the Math.Random() method is not seedable. Had to write a new random class that uses the BitmapData.noise() method, which you *can* seed. The class creates a bitmap and then reads the pixel values as the random numbers. It returns a uint, int, or Number. Put it up on fgmdev.com

10:00 – 12:00 Physical.

  • PPM enahancements
    • Create/Modify/Edit project now has multiple contact entries using ComboBox
      • saves single entry into projects table, more than 1 goes into separate relational tables – this is done to preserve the existing data
    • Project Management uses ComboBox ItemRenderers for the multiple contacts, single contact shows up as a label
    • added ItemRenderer for Total Budget
    • working on Project Mgmt event handling (Create, Edit, Copy, Delete, Refresh)
