Previous update: 10:14 a.m. Sunday morning.
- Student's Fireworks projects, both
drop-down popup menus and disjoint rollovers. CHECK THEM OUT!
-
Be sure you see your project URL has been received by looking at
the above FIREWORKS PROJECTS page.
-
Also, be sure to check out the
page with links to
Flash Video and Flash Intros projects. Is your name there twice?
- FW: Disjoint
Rollovers
is the basis for Fireworks assignment 2. Fireworks project two is
now assigned.
Because of the BLIZZARD DAY last Wednesday, you can have until
FRIDAY at 9 a.m. of Finals Week to get your last FIREWORKS assignment
done.
You do NOT have to use Fireworks buttons, but can have a
simple rollover combined with a disjoint rollover behavior for each of
your slices that cause rollover behavior. Fireworks buttons will be
taught on Monday, December 7th, in case you do want to use buttons
anyway.
Look at the separate gif SLICES that Fireworks
made when the application was converted to HTML with Edit menu > COPY
HTML command. There are 24 GIF files!!!

- Flash rectangle racers to your marks. Ready, Set, Go!
Animating using
a Timer in Flash. 1000 milliseconds = 1
second. Wednesday 12/02 class.
- Dreamweaver
and Imagemaps (Hotspots, not to be confused with hot pockets).
Online HELP.ADOBE.COM for
Image
Maps - what are they? and also for Inserting
Client-Side image map
hotspots for CS4 Dreamweaver.
1. In the Document window, select the image.
2. In the Property inspector, click the expander arrow in the
lower-right corner to see all properties.
"EXPANDER ARROW"
can be hard to find!
3. In the Map Name box, enter a unique name for the image map. If you
are using multiple image maps in the same document, make sure each
map has a unique name.
I did not give the Image Map a name, just
let DW name it, since it was going to
probably be the only Image Map for
the entire .HTML page.

- Monday, November 2nd: Uploading your Fireworks
project to
sunny.uni.edu using DREAMWEAVER and Defining your Site. It does not
matter whether your Dreamweaver HTML is hosting Fireworks or Flash
created content. The process is the same!
- What we did on Friday, October 23rd in StudioIT 3 class:
Fireworks
Magic Wand, Fireworks Eraser tool, creating a transparent background
(Transparent
GIF), using Dreamweaver to resize the portrayal of images. All from
Chapter 4 of the textbook.
Chapter 4: Fireworks files - Polar Bear on
Friday 10/23 for lab.
- TEST ONE - WEDNESDAY, October 14th.
"DONE NOW" - VIP: Test

Chapter 07: Building Flash Intros was
previewed during the Wednesday, September 21st class.
DUE DATE: Tuesday, October 13th by 11 p.m. - CHAPTER 07 is a
prerequisite for doing the images portion. At least four images of your
choice will be the main part of the Flashy Flash intro.
SEE PROJECT TWO: 10 students are done: Flash intros - Chapter 07 projects.
Last update - Tuesday, 10:05 p.m.
- Uploading
your work to sunny.uni.edu using Dreamweaver or using SSH Secure
Shell
or using Cyberduck software.
The SCC labs have FileZilla software. You can ask the lab monitor
for help if you want to try to use that. SSH Secure Shell is much
easier to use and more reliable and is available in Lang 213 and in all
the College of Natural Sciences lab such at Wright Hall 110, 112, and
339.
- DW: Uploading
your work
to sunny through DREAMWEAVER is also possible. You may still need
to use sunny.uni.edu directly if you want the files to be stored in a
separate folder, i.e. you may still need to do the mkdir
whatFolderIamCreating (mkdir = mAkEdirRECTORY - MaKeDIRectory).

Fall 2009 Flash video captioning projects: Your
assignment will be posted from
this web page after I receive the URL link from you by email to
jacobson@cs.uni.edu address. Enjoy your classmate's videos!

Flash captioned

of 2008

Your first assignment from the Lowery textbook:
Flash Video
with the FLVPlayback and the FLVPlaybackCaptioning components. This
assignment is based upon chapter 08 of the Lowery textbook.
This link is NOT YET updated for Flash CS 4, but that should not
require that you wait as we have seen this and done this stuff in class
and in lab, and you have the Adobe CS4 Web Workflows 2nd edition
textbook.
Due date: Friday, September 25th by 6 p.m.
-
Chapter 08 files - Lowery book practice.
USE THE captions.xml FILE from the textbook for your CAPTIONS file.
It is easier than creating one from scratch!
- September 16th, 18th and September 23rd classes will give some more
background
on the CAPTIONING requirement and skills for the assignment. READ
CHAPTER 08 and STUDY THE ABOVE WEB PAGES. Use captions.xml file for
your captions. Do NOT try to create a captions.XML file from scratch!!!
-
Review of Wednesday, September 16th class: Santana Treat
video and video captioning with the FLVPlaybackCaptioning component.
Edit the captions.xml file with Dreamweaver, or with any text editor
such as pico on sunny or Notepad on Windows. Dreamweaver is nicest, so
we will use that in StudioIT lab on Friday.
