DMS Help – Dreamweaver Templates

This time of year a lot of faculty offer their students the option to create a website instead of writing a final paper. But creating a website from scratch can be a very daunting task for the uninitiated. All that code. All those pages.

This time of year a lot of faculty offer their students the option to create a website instead of writing a final paper. But creating a website from scratch can be a very daunting task for the uninitiated. All that code. All those pages.

One way to get around this it to use Google Sites to make a code-less webpage. The problem with Google Sites is it’s gonna look like you used Google Sites. There are templates, but some are hard to manipulate…
Another, much simpler option, is to use a Dreamweaver template and then simply plug in your own content. Dreamweaver does have a few templates built in, but they are not very exciting. However, these sites have a large number of really nice and FREE Dreamweaver templates that you can download right to your computer:
Also, don’t forget that we have Dreamweaver CS5 down in the Digital Media Studio on the first floor of the library.

It can be hard to keep up with all of Adobe’s product updates and new version features. But now you can.

Adobe TV has a myriad of videos that will keep you up-to-date on your Adobe products. But that’s not all. There are also a number of tutorials on how to use all of the different Adobe products. Most of them are in the “getting-started” range, but there are some higher-level tutorials as well.
What’s also cool about Adobe TV is the fact that you can create your own “homepage” of sorts. You create an account, tell the site what products you use and it creates a custom page for you with videos and tutorials that are specific to your needs.

DMS Help – Action Script 3.0 Tutorials for Flash

One of the most difficult things about using Flash can be adding interactivity. Animation is easy, more so in Flash than After Effects. But when it comes in interactivity in Flash users often find themselves quickly mired in Action Script. Adobe’s latest iteration of Action Script, 3.0, is nearly a misnomer. Gone are the days … Continue reading “DMS Help – Action Script 3.0 Tutorials for Flash”

One of the most difficult things about using Flash can be adding interactivity. Animation is easy, more so in Flash than After Effects. But when it comes in interactivity in Flash users often find themselves quickly mired in Action Script.

Adobe’s latest iteration of Action Script, 3.0, is nearly a misnomer. Gone are the days of a simple scripting language. Action Script 3.0 is a fully-functional object-oriented programming language with a robustness akin to Java. While this does offer tremendous power to Flash developers, it also adds a much steeper learning curve.
But here’s a solution. If you need Action Script 3.0 advice and solving a particular programming or interactivity problem, check out this website: Flash and Math. The site houses dozens of tutorials explaining not only how to accomplish specific effects such as developing a particle system but also how to learn to program in Action Script 3.0.

Of all the video tutorials out on the web these days, the ones on tutvid.com are some of the best. Not only that, their website is easy to use and specific tutorials are easy to find.

Tutvid (presumably a contraction of “Tutorial Video”) is a website that offers comprehensive video tutorials on a few of Adobe’s most popular programs, namely Photoshop, Fireworks, Flash, Dreamweaver and Illustrator. The difference between this site and others like it is that the tutorials here are specific. That is to say that they teach users how to accomplish specific tasks in the various programs the cover.
