   • Movie Icon
   
   
2. How does Authorware provide code modularity? (Hint: What icon is involved?)
   
3. Compare/contrast Authorware to "traditional" programming languages (consider how program flow occurs, icons versus program language statements, etc., code modularity). What are the advantages/disadvantages of Authorware?
   
4. Explain how a Calculated Path Icon controls program branching.
   
5. Explain how a Conditional Response can affect program execution (when it is present on an Interaction icon's flowline.)
   

   Note: Since Authorware is such an important part of this unit, you should expect 2-3 questions on it in the Quiz.
