NPPA national summit and workshops
Details about the NPPA 60th Anniversary Summit are online now. I will lead two separate workshops:
Beginning Flash 8: Basics of handling photos well in Flash and controlling the presentation with buttons.
Intermediate Flash 8: Making multi-part presentations that work well and load quickly. Also: Including sound files (MP3s) in Flash.
NOTE: Making and scripting control buttons will NOT be covered in detail in the second workshop.
Each workshop will last 3 hours, with a 15-minute break.
If you download a free trial version of Flash 8 from Macromedia, do not even think about the “basic” version. All the video goodies are in the version called “professional,” so GET THAT ONE. Also, the trial version really expires after 30 days, and you can’t re-install it, according to my students (who have tried).
And finally, if you’re not upgrading, compare the price for Flash 8 with the price of the bundle, Studio 8. You may decide it makes sense to spend the extra and get Studio 8.
