Flash Quickie

Good job last night. Here's some other cool examples of Flash to look at as well as the attached presentation from class.


A couple of date reminders:

Mood boards due next Thursday (10/20) - we'll be critiquing via projector

Flash assignment due following Thursday (10/27) - we'll be critiquing via projector

This is what's due for the Flash assignment - In your folder, there should be your .swf and index.html file. Flash will export both of these upon "Publishing." Once it does, rename that HTML file to "Index.html" and upload both (Index.html & your .swf file) to you hosting environment and test it out to ensure it's all working. Next week, I'll show you how to add a background color behind your Flash piece as well as how to center it within the browser window.

I'll start off next week's class answering questions and reviewing anything that you need more clarification on. ALSO, I typical hold a 1 hour Saturday lab class on the weekend before the Flash assignment is due. This will given you some additional time to ask questions and get more detail on techniques and bugs you may have questions about. I'll let you all let Erin and I know if you'd like to have the lab. It would be on Saturday 10/22. So start thinking about that if you run into trouble.

Attached presentation.

Here's a link to a few past Flash examples that students completed for their assignment.


This is your chance to jump start your own portfolio site. Do a good job on this. I'm only requiring you to blow out the contact page...but use the time to go above and beyond...
