PE2 (Part 2 - Flash)

  

Spent some time on Lynda.com running the training by Paul Trani. Did the Welcome, web design, first flash file, etc... up to importing photoshop files. Also did a tutorial on flash file types and it reiterated that you find flash files in animations, online games, and advertisements. The video compression component being popular across the web aslo was restated. The gains in limiting size of files has made flash the standard for online tools.



The tutorial explained file types that are possible with Flash and explained what they did. Another element was the use of layers and grouping items on a paged based on that one common item. Doing that will significantly reduce the size of the files needed because Flash will reuse the common information to create 10 buttons rather than needing the code of 10 different buttons. Everything was the way in which it was set-up from the beginning.
