In Class Thur Apr 24th

You Should have a basic idea for your site today.

lets look at making test flowcharts for your sites.

- consider how you are moving the collabrator thru the site.
- what order is image/info presented in? and why?
- what are the different possibilities?


Different forms of navigation.

culturerecycling
theyrule
sofake
popurls
musicovery
youtube

why do they navigate the way they do? what effect does it have on the collaborator's experience?

create 3 different possible flow charts for your site by Tue April 29th. you should also be collecting content (imagery, sounds, video, text) and should have at least 1/2 of what you need for the site

Deconstructing FLA's

- where to find them
--- web search, designers, web resources, me
- taking them apart
--- look for the actionscript, the little 'a' in the timeline and on symbols (buttons and movieclips)
--- things will be buried with-in symbols
--- look at symbol 'instance names'
* all symbols can have instance names that can then be called up by actionscript
--- try to figure out what the variables are
--- sometimes the programmer/designer will leave 'notes' to help you know what is going on in the script.
--- try changing something (don't forget to save a copy first)
--- discard what you do not need
