Come along on a guided tour and introductory class with Tony Turner...
SWiSHmax 101 is the first in an interactive and action-packed series of classes for using the latest SWiSH program. In this introductory class we will be exploring the different uses of Flash in websites, along with the proper methods with which to do this.
While the major focus of this class is Flash, we delve only into the bare minimum of web design discussion. I'll show you the proper coding method with which to embed your Flash objects so that your pages will validate. We'll discuss weight issues and ways to optimize your flash files for the web, and why. We'll even discuss when not to use Flash on the web. and why.
Flash is a browser Plug-in, geared to run on the web, so there are a few web design issues that we will address. Beyond that we strive to stay away from web design topics. The focus of this study is SWiSHmax.
Whether you're a hobbyist, an eBook author, web master, or professional web developer. This class is the place to start when you want to get off on the right foot using Flash for your projects. It's also the basic stepping stone to the more advanced SWiSH classes that are available here at Start to Web.
Start to Web with SWiSHmax!
Have a Great Day, and see you in Class!- Tony Turner
