Lynda Illustrator CS3 for the Web

Illustrator CS3 for the Web
with: Mordy Golding
Running Time: 3 hours
It might seem counterintuitive to consider using Illustrator, the preeminent vector-based print design tool, for creating pixel-based graphics, but that's exactly what Mordy Golding does in Illustrator CS3 for the Web. He focuses on Illustrator's strengths alongside other tools in the web design workflow, exploring unique features such as object-based editing, and the ease of repurposing art for print and Flash use. This course requires familiarity with Illustrator CS3, and while it provides an introduction to Flash integration, the focus is on effectively turning vectors into pixels, whether for the web, mobile devices, or video. Exercise files accompany the course.

LearnFlash.com Integrating Flash CS3 with XML

3 hours 50 min | 281 MB | Rapidshare
AS2 integration with XML.

Overview

In this video series, Flash guru Craig Campbell will teach you everything you need to know to get started creating powerful, data-driven web applications by integrating Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3 with XML.
Throughout this course, Craig will work through a few different practical projects that incorporate Flash and XML.

Detailed Video Descriptions

alt 1-Introduction
In this video, Craig welcomes you to the series and gives you a brief explanation of what to expect.

alt 2 - What is XML?
In this video, Craig defines and demonstrates what XML is and what it can be used for. He also shows a sample XML document.

alt 3 - Building an XML Document
In this video, Craig discusses the few, simple rules behind XML as he walks you through the process of building your own XML document.

alt 4 - Importing XML Data into Flash (Running Time: 12:07)
Now that we know how to put an XML document together, Craig demonstrates how to import XML into your Flash file using ActionScript 3

alt 5 - Extracting Data from the XML (Running Time: 14:15)
With our XML data pulled into Flash, Craig now demonstrates how to display that data in a way that makes sense.

alt 6 - Displaying the XML Data (Running Time: 9:39)
Now that we know how to display our XML data, Craig walks us through the process of displaying all of our news stories within a dynamic text field.

alt 7 - Displaying Data Dynamically (Running Time: 8:34)
Ideally, we’d like to be able to automatically detect how many news stories are in our XML file so that we can view all the stories even if more stories are added to the XML file. In this video, Craig will show you how to add this functionality.

alt 8 - Adding CSS (Running Time: 7:32)
Cascading Style Sheets are a great way to add a little bit of style to your text in your dynamic text fields. In this video, Craig will demonstrate how to make your text pop by using CSS styles.

alt 9 - Adding a Scrollbar (Running Time: 2:41)
In this video, Craig demonstrates how to create a scrollbar for your dynamic text field that will allow you to scroll through the text if it’s too long to fit within your text field.

alt 10 – Creating a Slideshow XML File (Running Time: 4:46)
In this video, you will learn how to create the XML file for a new Flash slideshow project. This slideshow will cycle through a series of images.

alt 11 – Importing Your Slideshow XML Data (Running Time: 8:43)
In this video, Craig will demonstrate once again how to pull this XML data into Flash so it can be displayed.

alt 12 – Displaying the First Image (Running Time: 11:02)
Once the XML data is imported, Craig demonstrates how to display the first image on the screen.

alt 13 – Slideshow Navigation (Running Time: 15:23)
In this video, Craig will show you how to create buttons that will allow you to cycle through the images in the slideshow.

alt 14 – Automatic Navigation (Running Time: 8:11)
If you want the slideshow to play through automatically, Craig will show you how to use an ActionScript Timer to make this happen.

alt 15 – Updating the XML (Running Time: 2:48)
In this video, Craig demonstrates just how simple it is to add another image to the slideshow XML file.

alt 16 – Creating a Jukebox XML File (Running Time: 3:44)
In this video, Craig will create the XML file for a music playlist.

alt 17 – Importing the Jukebox XML Data (Running Time: 10:15)
With the XML file created, Craig now illustrates how to pull this data into Flash.

alt 18 – Playing the First Song (Running Time: 8:15)
With all of the XML data imported, Craig demonstrates how to play the first song in the XML Jukebox.

alt 19 – Basic Sound Controls (Running Time: 10:20)
Now that we’ve got some music playing, we’re going to take a look at how to create some very basic controls that will allow our users to stop, play, and mute the sounds.

alt 20– Cycling Through the Songs (Running Time: 15:27)
In this video, Craig adds code to the “next” and “previous” buttons to allow your users to cycle through the songs in your playlist.

alt 21 –Updating the Play Button (Running Time: 5:40)
In this video, Craig takes a closer look at the play button and demonstrates why it won’t work properly the way we have it set up. He then shows you how to use the “currentSound” variable to make this button work more effectively.

alt 22 –Displaying Song Titles (Running Time: 2:57)
In this video, Craig opens up the Actions panel and shows you what code needs to be added in order to display the song titles in the appropriate text field.

alt 23 –Automatic Cycling (Running Time: 6:23)
In this video, Craig will demonstrate how to set up the jukebox so that it automatically plays the second song when the first song is finished.

alt 24 –Setting Up a Video Player (Running Time: 3:12)
In this video, Craig begins the final product by preparing a video player in Flash.

alt 25 –Creating the Video Player XML (Running Time: 3:34)
In this video, Craig demonstrates how to create the XML file for the video playlist.

alt 26 –Importing the Video Player XML (Running Time: 7:37)
Now that we have our XML file, Craig demonstrates how to pull this data into Flash.

alt 27 – Playing the First Video (Running Time: 3:42)
With the XML data imported, Craig now demonstrates how to get the first video to start playing.

alt 28 – Basic Video Controls (Running Time: 7:48)
With the video object working properly, Craig now demonstrates how to create some basic controls to allow the user to stop and restart your videos.

alt 29 – Nav
