FlashMX2004 Class :Video Introduction
Saturday morning is the last day of class for the beginning Flash class I am co-teaching. I will be teaching my own ActionScript class in the spring (starts April), but this has been a good introduction into teaching a entire course.
On Saturday, the class will be turning in their final projects. The left over class time will be spent doing some extra stuff not covered by the book. Dianne, the other instructor, has asked me to do a bit on video within Flash. I really haven’t had much call for video in my Flash work, but I have worked with it and this might be something fun for the class.
I figured I would start off going over the basics and then walking them through the Macromedia video intro and then show them some completed video pieces and the ActionScript behind each one. The classroom is only outfitted with FlashMX2004 standard and not professional, so I will need to pre-build some SWFs to take into class.
I’ll blog back after class and let you know how the final projects looked and what the students thought about Flash video.
