Re: FLASH: 3D Interactive Solar System

[Brian]

That was kind of fun!

A few things:

The third sentence in the instructions misspells "its". You have it as "it

is" (the contraction), which is wrong.

Why does the Saturn graphic go so far out of the window when you zoom to it,

while all the others don't?

Also, in what manner are you trying to display the planets? All of them

appear (roughly) as they would look from space. But your image shows the

surface of Venus... why not do the same for the Earth? Venus from space is

enshrouded in clouds...

I'd also like to hear some sound or music, or both. I think Holst's 'The

Planets' is in the public domain, but they didn't know about Pluto back in

those days, so maybe that's not a good idea...
