Flash MX LAB A ssignment 1 —— [40 points] ——

DUE DATE:__________

Use Macromedia Flash MX to create a Web banner to be used on one of your Dreamweaver Final Project pages. This banner can be used as a LOGO styled heading, an advertisement for a product or service on that page, or a plea to save the Koalas. The banner needs to relate to the Final Dreamweaver project you are making for the class.

Although small sized by nature, this space can contain many layers and/or scenes on a timeline. A simple or complex animation needs to be used within the banner space. The use of Alpha transparency on a tweened timeline can and does look like animation. If you are adding sound, please only loop it one or two times, or there must be a sound off button used within the banner. (Refer to lecture material for more guidance on any or all of this).

The banner color scheme certainly must relate to the main color scheme. The banner fonts should relate or compliment the fonts used on the page. The imagery used in the banner should compliment the main theme of the page. IN OTHER WORDS, make the banner an integral part of the page, NOT A SORE THUMB!

Use the following configurations for your Banner:

  1. Dimension: Width 468 pixels, Height 60 pixels


  2. Resolution: 72 dpi


  3. Approximate File Size: 25KB


  4. Simple Animation is required


  5. Sound is optional


  6. Save this file as flashlab1-banner.fla


  7. Publish the flashlab1-banner.swf file to your Web site as your BANNER example. Later it will be included on one of your Final Project pages.
