1. Macromedia Flash” Workshop on “ Introduction to 29-Aug to 1-Sep 2004

2.  To provide you with an introduction to Flash as a Instructional multimedia authoring tool  To give you hands on experience in producing an instructional animations and Interactivity  To introduce you to basic action Scripting in Flash.  and Of course to have a li’l bit of fun (unofficially) Goals of Workshop

3.  Jonathan Gay's in January of 1993  Flash is a vector-based animation software by Macromedia inc.  Professional “Multimedia Authoring“ application  The power of Flash lies in  Design Graphics.  Animations  Sound, and Narration  User interface elements.  Interactivity.  Action Scripting  Web page development and Design.  Instructional Multimedia What is Flash ?

4. Flashs Early Interface

5.  Flash Sprites, when well designed, are a powerful to understanding non-quantitative information.  Flash animations help students visualize difficult concepts  It is an interactive tool that aids and supports step-by- step problem solving.  Flash renders visual, representations that makes presentation aids visualization of concepts involving Motion.  It adds the dimension of time to static two dimensional representations. Flash Sprites as Instructional Multimedia

6.  Image has been broken up into a grid recorded individually,as Sequence of pixel  Easy to implement  Works well for complex variations  Not flexible  Might need a lot of memory  Usually problems when scaled  Formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, TIFF Raster and Vector Graphics Raster graphics

7. Vector graphics  Image is described as a series of lines or shapes  Works well for line art (CAD applications) and images with simple shapes and are flexible  Typically needs less memory  Data: Instructions for drawing lines and filling shapes Example: <line startcoord="x,01 y,01" endcoord="x, 20 y, 20" thickness="3"  Scalable, versatile Raster and Vector Graphics
