Flash™ Introduction; Advanced Dreamweaver™ Introduction; Advanced Fireworks™ Introduction
Flash by Macromedia® is the wave of the future for websites - animation, sound and fantastic effects are easily created on a timeline that allows sounds and animated buttons to be placed within 'movie clips'. Layers of different graphics can be built, allowing total control over placement and visibility.
Libraries of graphics and movie clips are stored within documents, and can even be shared between documents.
Examples of Flash content: Loadtest
Dreamweaver™ is another Macromedia® product that is the application many Web developers prefer to use when building sites. It has the ability to create 'Dynamic HTML' - which involves 'layers' that can move and change visibility; and 'Cascading Style Sheets' that control the appearance of all text and objects on the page.
It links beautifully with the other Macromedia applications for the total Web solution.
Examples of Dreamweaver content: Draglight and Clock (which uses Javascript)
FireWorks™ is one of the new Macromedia® Web-authoring applications that has taken the lead in creation of graphics for the World Wide Web. It allows graphic designers to layout a page using familiar techniques; add rollover buttons; add links; and then 'slice' the page into chunks that are reassembled in an HTML table. All this is exported from Fireworks in a single action. Any updating of the Fireworks original will then update the HTML with a single menu command!
