Bonus points: Extra elements in the Flash page, interesting captions, good timing, etc. I.e. the result should look professional and be useful.

I suggest that those who already turned in 3-4 homeworks skip this exercice. I will not test Flash in the final exam. I only require that you have some very basic understanding of timed text (i.e. use the "p" tag to define start and duration of captions ....)

When you upload the result, make sure to include all files needed to see the Flash clip, i,e, html, swf, component swf, flv, js. To get this right, I suggest to use a new folder for this project.

Homework 7

Create a Flash video with captions

  • Encode a video with the Flash or the Adobe Media encoder (remove unwanted start/end from the film and select an appropriate output format, e.g. *.flv or *.fl4)
  • Prepare a flash "movie clip" that includes playback with the video component plus the captions component.
  • You can choose any film you like, but preferably one that you made yourself (originality bonus)

Bonus points: Extra elements in the generated HTML page, interesting captions, good timing, etc. I.e. the result should look professional and be useful.

I suggest that those who already turned in 5 homework could skip this exercise. I will not test Flash in the final exam. I only require that you have some basic understanding of timed text (i.e. be able to use the "p" tag for defining start and duration of captions ....)

When you upload the result, make sure to include all files needed to see the Flash clip, i,e, html, swf, component swf's, flv, and js. To get this right, I suggest to use a new folder for this project, then zip the folder and turn in the folder.
