Hi, all,

conference is still running, today the second day. Just a quick note from the road:

My speaker session at the FlashForward Conference is just over and despite its early time (8:00 am) attendance was good.

The feedback was great too, the audience was amazed what you can do without having to code or use Adobe Flash, all out of QuarkXPress. Many designers seem to want to create SWF and struggle how.

My software demo showed:
1. Repurpose print layout as SWF in a HTML layout with navigation
2. Create a rich internet ad from scratch (spotlight)
3. Show how to make an object follow the mouse cursor (using an invisible SWF in HTML)
4. Create a video player, playing a video, inside a drag-able window
5. Create an interactive menu
6. Show how to collect information (like an email address) and send it to the server (with a pulsing button).

As the software presentation might be interesting for you too, we are currently thinking about putting it online, together with detailed step-by-step instructions (the latter which I still have to create, so it is going to take a while).

Anybody interested?

Best regards
Matthias

[quote:e27f1d7234]Anybody interested?

yes of course, matthias

Oh yes! I am a bit late on this... but definately would like to see that!

Me too!
ganesh

bit late - but yes please!

Ok, message heard, thank you all for your interest.

The Xtopia conference I have been attending the last days is wrapping up and I will be finally in the office again.

So my plan is to write the step-by-step instructions next week and provide you the files the week after, probably Friday 26th.

Best regards
Matthias

I finished writing up the steps and modified the files (as due to legal reasons we cannot provide you with the fonts etc.), so that they are ready for general consumption.

As long as we have the distribution agreement for the print design you can find the files here.

If you find anything hard to understand or not working, please send me a private mail (by hitting the PM button below).

Enjoy
Matthias
