Creating the application 27
Creating the specials screen
In this section, you’ll create the user interface elements that let the user
browse images and descriptions of each special. The specials screen consists
of the following parts:
■ An animation that transitions between images of each special.
■ Dynamic text fields that display the name and description for
each special.
■ User interface elements that let the user navigate between specials and
return to the main application screen.
This section of the tutorial is divided into two parts. In the first part, you’ll
create the animation that transitions between images of each special. In the
second part, you’ll add user interface elements and ActionScript to let the
user navigate between the images and to display each special’s name and
description.

Creating the image animation
In this section you’ll create the tweened animation that transitions between
images of each special. When you’ve completed this section, the animation
will play through without stopping. Later in the tutorial, you’ll add
navigation and ActionScript that lets the user control the animation with
the device’s Right soft key.
