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 fo r
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 par ts. 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.

images of each special. When you’ve completed this section, the animation

the device’s Right soft key.
