"Fresh Collaboration!"

The past week we've been working with Flash and Dreamweaver, and I've come to learn how the two can be really helpful to one another.

Today we learned how to create a slideshow or take an already existing movie in Flash, and then incorporate it into our websites. This could be one way of displaying our Portfolios!

Here are the details:

For Slideshows:
- In Flash, go to File>Import>Import To Library
- Convert all images imported to symbols.
**Remember to put each image on its own layer.
- Set your timing: Insert keyframes & Tweens
**Adjust the Alpha(transparency) percentage on the keyframes to create transitions from one picture to the next.

Working with the video:
- Size: Width- 320, Height-260
- Import the video into library
- Video Options Dialogue should open
- Select your player/size and skin
-Publish your video
** This part is important, make sure to save the video in all the correct formats as well as in the right folder.

Open in Dreamweaver
- Correct HTML code from "False" to "True" in all the areas needed to allow fullscreen options.
**Make sure you've selected a template for the video that enables this option
- Save and check to see the results

Until next time,
