    ' FlashMX has a steep learning curve

    ' ³Now, in case you think that an authoring program with this many
    capabilities is a flash to learn, think again. Macromedia Flash does
    have a significant learning curve for the groovy stuff, but it's not out of
    reach for instructional designers and developers. My QuickBooks
    program, for instance, is harder to understand. Developing decent
    Macromedia Flash learning content (non-linear and interactive)
    requires some study and practice. But if you're worried that
    Macromedia Flash is too hard for the average Joe to learn, check out
    this math quiz developed by a seven-year-old. ³

    ' Many avenues to learn FlashMX


    ± Use the built-in Help files in FlashMX
    ± Animated tutorials on flashkit.com
    ± Numerous books from Macromedia and others

    ' Printed guide: From Macromedia: Digital Narrative Project ($15)


    ± Nice, step-by-step tutorial on building a Flash Narrative Best
    method: use tutorials and learn from existing FlashMX file
    ' Programming needed? Yes, but reuse of Actionscript (code)
    simplifies effort
    ' If you can¶t master programming buttons/navigation, use the
    FlashMX 2004 templates with built in navigation
    ü 

    ' Flashkit.com-great tutorials and sample projects,


    code, music
    ± Great user community at Flashkit.com

    ' www.Derekfranklin.com
    ' Some good tutorials for newbies: (search for these
    titles on the flashkit.com tutorial page)
    ' Building Buttons
    ' Using èayers
    ' Perfect Newbie starter tutorial
    ' Introduction to flash usability
    ' FlashMX Scrollpane component
     
    ' For the first time Flash is offering a collection of templates to simplify the
    production of standard Web documents such as ads, slide shows, and tutorials.
    In addition, the templates are smart; for example, a photo album template
    includes all the programming necessary for a photo slideshow.

    ' A lot of UI components, like scroll bars, check boxes, and list boxes, that
    previously had to be laboriously created, are now included in Flash MX. The
    appropriate behaviors are built into these objects, so adding functional interface
    elements to an application is a simple drag-and-drop operation.

    ' One of the biggest changes in Flash MX is the integration of video. The
    integrated video support, provided by the Sorenson Spark codec, can import
    standard video formats, such as AVI, MPEG, or QuickTime, and convert them
    to a streaming format that is displayed natively by the Flash MX player. The
    import filter can also resize the video or sync the frame rate to the Flash movie
    when converting a file.

    ' You must create an Autorun for your .exe Projectors
    ' This tutorial will show you, step by step, how to create an autorun for
    your .exe projector when distributed on cd-rom.
    ' In order to do this:
    1. Open up windows Notepad and type in:
    2. [autorun]
    open=intro.exe
    icon=icon.ico
    Replace 'intro.exe' with the file name of your .exe movie, and 'icon.ico' with
    the name of your custom icon if you have one. If not remove the line
    'icon=icon.ico'.
    3. Save type as an "All Files (*.*)" with the filename autorun.inf.
    4. Burn your cd with the autorun.inf, icon.ico (if any), and projector .exe in the
    root directory of the cd. When you enter the cd into the drive, it will
    automatically run your .exe file.
