Syllabus - Final

IMD 330 syllabus

Final Project

You are a member of a Reading Club/Hobbyist Group/Fan Club etc. whose task it is to develop a Flash piece for the group website that will have interchangeable content each month.

Think of this in terms of the group having a monthly featured topic that has to be easily changed and/or updated. If you were in a book club, the club would have a different featured book/author each month.

Your Flash piece must have interchangeable topics for a minimum of four months (four topics). The project must have one overall design that can work for all the topics chosen i.e. if the book club covers a horror novel one month and then a romance novel the next, whatever design you decide to do to the topics should not clash with the overall design.

Since the topics are changeable, the content will be located external to your main fla file. You will use external ActionScript where appropriate to control loading/unloading your content (text, xml, sound, video, images etc.) into your project.
