Flash Card Creator Menus

  1. Starts a new flash card set for editing
  2. Opens an set for editing
  3. Saves changes for the current set
  4. Deletes this flash card set. May be retrieved from the Recycle Bin.
  5. Opens this flash card set into the Flash Card Viewer so you can start learning it.
  6. Use this option to load your flash card set onto your cell phone This works by converting your set into a web page that you can set through from your phone's internet browser. If your phone allows it it's a good idea to save the page onto your phone's memory so you don't have to connect to the internet every time.
    Functionality is limited to viewing the cards in order, (or in reverse order by using the browser's back button), stay tuned however for a Java version in the future providing for as much functionality as the Flash Card Viewer but on your phone.
    You may have problems with your WAP provider not allowing large pages through, or your phone can't display them. So be aware you may need to limit the number of cards you have in your set.
    To use this option first connect your computer to the internet, select the menu option and wait for the set to be uploaded to the website. A dialog box will then display telling you the address you can enter into your phone to access the set. You'll have two choices of files to load into your browser: a HTML file or a WML file. The former will more faithfully reflect your customised colors and fonts, while the latter may be more appropriate for older phones and you may find it faster to navigate through the cards.
    Uploading your set to your phone does support images (provided your phone can display them), however audio tracks can't be uploaded until the Java version is released.
    The uploaded page displays one side of the card at a time along with a normal web page link to control the operation. The link labelled "Flip" will be highlighted on the A side/Question side, pressing Select/OK on your phone will take you to the B/Answer side. A "Next" link is then displayed to indicate that pressing Select/OK will take you to the next card.
  7. Displays a list of recent sets that you have been using

  1. Opens a dialog that allows you to change the background color of the cards. You can change the color of the currently selected card (you may need to remove the image and click into the card to determine this), or change the color of either side of all cards. Doing the latter will also set the default color for that side.
  2. Opens a dialog that allows you to change the font and text color of the card text. You can set these for the currently selected card, or change them for either side of all cards. Doing the latter will also set the default font and text color.
