My brain's output buffer is full and blocked since I am thinking of my upcoming final project.
I quickly went through this assignment using a potentiometer to try and control a sprite in Director.
I have one concern though. As I insert a code to the BX just as last week's assignment, and used the below Director code, it seemed like no problems will occur. Well, the pot did affect the ball (sprite I created) on the stage, but the message window showed an inconsistent set of 0 to 255 numbers. It did go from 0 to 255 but it skipped many numbers and also it lacked with sensitivity. It took quite a few seconds for the numeric value of the pot to reach director. I don't understand why it wasn't a smooth transition. Not sure if it's Director or the BasicX side. That's a question for tomorrow's class (um, today).

Director's Code:
