Session 9 [Tues 090210] - Final Site Ideas/ Flash Essentials Set Up/ Following Blog Requirements Closely

Homework
Hi Sally. Despite a failure to meet the requirements laid out in the previous blog entry we did have a successful session from a technical instruction POV. You seemed to take quite naturally to this unnatural coding activity.

Looking at the previous blog it is essential that you push your professionalism. There are clearly stated submit points that have not been met. So, following on from our work today and in reference to the requirements laid out in the previous blog -

1. Please let me know where I can view your final superbanner for grading and be sure to prepare an A3 folio of all relevant support work for the banner task for handing in next live session [Tues 160210 at 11:00pm]. Remember to use the branded planning template to present all work.



2. Write your brief for the final project and email a PDF, ASAP. Also, consolidate all your ideas into clear, client presentation boards using your planning template sheets. Stick these in your folio as well clearly demarking which project is which.



3. Write more blog entries and orientate the site choices towards helping you research for your own final work.



4. Download the Flash Essentials Page Shell file from the link to the right and use it as a guide to build your own Flash page shell for the Flashessentials task. In the ActionScript file can you try and add comments that explain what you think is happening at each stage of the code. We'll take a look at how you did next time.

Finally and optionally, you may have noticed the link to the Adobe Text Layout Component. This is an extensions that you can load for Flash that gives you more professional control over your type setting for those building with CS4 for Flash Player 10. Install this and find out how it works if you have time.

I'll try and put some more stuff up on the Flash Essentials task for Friday or over the weekend.
See you on Tuesday.
