I had this post quiet long in draft but never found time to finish it. In the meanwhile one of my friends at multimediacollege just published a great explanation on the topic at their blog.

Last years i have been doing flash training with Adobe authorized training material, after the launch of CS3 Adobe decided to stop making new courseware. So for flash cs3 we tried some other course material but i was always missing the more global picture of creating flash projects, next to that i think that most as3.0 courses are to much focussing on building ria’s.

So i’m thinking about creating a course focussed on flash projects targeted for online marketing. I will be targeting flash developers and designer with a basic knowledge of actionscript.
Some basic ideas for an outline are:

• checklist before starting
  • wireframes
  • source material: psd, ai’s, fonts
  • copy, translations
  • how to communicate with backend
• tools
  • fla in flash
  • as in flexbuilder, flashdevelop or fdt
• setting up
  • framework setup
  • multiple languages
  • server setup
  • backend setup
• build a solid and flexible navigation system
• building a reusable framework
• working together: version control and best practises
• lab exercise: working together as a team to create a small game

Feel free to make additions or remarks on this basic outline.
