text=Flash - Advanced ActionScripting - Content on Demand

Week 11 Lesson Plan:

This lesson, we will start by showing you a few inspirational links and explaining how many Flash sites use content on demand to manage bandwidth and download times.

Concepts:
We'll review last weeks lesson briefly.

Skills and Exercise:
Next we will create a pre-loader for the basic website students created in last week's lesson (using the ifFrameLoaded action).

Then we will create each section of the website as a different SWF file, each with a pre-loader. We'll make the section buttons load in the SWFs using the loadMovieNum action.

Finally we will explain to you the difference between levels and layers.

Wrap-up:
We'll remind you of the resources available and briefly go through the ones posted. Of course, there will be time for students to ask questions and play around in the software.
