It has been announced that Flash will be available on TVs! This is not only a great opportunity for Adobe Flash, but opens up many, many opportunities for Flash developers and hopefully e-learning designers. This will now place rich Internet applications (RIA) on TVs, using Flash Lite Player 3. For now I am going to assume a content developer’s kit (CDK) will be provided by Adobe and the TV remote will act in the same manner as a Flash enabled phone’s key pad, recognizing key presses, etc. Tags: flash Adobe Flash Lite e-Learning MORE >>

With Flash you easily convert your imported graphics into vector graphics. Once converted, you can manipulate the vector graphic from within Flash. For example, remove colors, add colors, distort shapes, etc. This has been extremely helpful while working on a Ben Franklin course I am currently developing. have been importing graphics of historical illustrations and artifacts (none with copyrights). In order to keep the same “cartoon” feel of the Minutebio courses, I used this method. Giving the graphics a more uniform, cartoon look, plus vector graphics scale up better. MORE >>

I’ve been working on an Articulate Presenter course with a lot of flash files that have audio.  Import settings – When inserting a flash movie into Articulate you have a few different settings to consider. You could experiment with have the flash display in a new browser window (full screen on top of the main course) and have it automatically “pop-up” when a user hits a particulate slide. want the flash movie to be completely separate from what’s happening on the slide. In fact, when I import a flash movie I never have anything on the slide. MORE >>

Sorry for shouting in the title, but I am fed up with people saying Flash is dying. Will Flash lose some market share to HTML5? But again, that doesn't mean the demise of Flash is anywhere near. The only reason anyone is still hollering about this is because Apple still refuses Flash on their mobile devices. Thanks to Tony Karrer's article "Mobile Learning and the Continuing Death of Flash". Still, our e-learning software relies predominantly on Flash for desktop browser consumption. Don't believe all of the doomsday prophets proclaiming Flash's demise. MORE >>
