Flash Workshops
Flash Your Video to the World: Adobe CS3 has made it easy to post high quality video that downloads quickly and is cross platform on your schools web site. This fast paced workshop will teach you how to use Flash CS3 Professional and Dreamweaver CS3 to create media rich web pages. Participants will leave this workshop with a solid understanding of how to encode Flash video (.flv) and customize the flash player.
