Detailed Video Descriptions
- 1 - Tracing Over Video in Flash (Running Time - 11:59)
Want to learn how to create your own raw dancing animation in Flash? Now's your chance! In this video, you'll learn how to import a video, embed it into your Flash file, and trace over it in order to create your own dance animation! - 2 - Creating a Button with a Hover Animation (Running Time - 15:41)
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a picture button with some text at the bottom. When you hover over the button, the text, along with its semi-transparent background, will scroll up, revealing a more detailed description of the button. - 3 - Pausing an Auto-scrolling Text Field (Running Time - 18:30)
In this two-part tutorial, you'll learn how to create a text field that scrolls automatically, and then you'll learn how to make the scrolling stop when the user hovers the mouse cursor over the text field. - 4 - Smoky Text Fade (Running Time - 12:27)
In this video tutorial, you'll learn how to create a transition effect where one piece of text fades away in a puff of smoke while another piece of text fades in in its place. - 5 - Cursor Bubbles (Running Time - 16:35)
If you dipped your mouse cursor under water, what would you get? Bubbles, of course! In this tutorial, you'll learn how to make bubbles appear to rise out of your user's cursor. - 6 - Creating A Map With Selectable Regions (Running Time - 09:21)
This tutorial simply requires a little bit of tracing work and some ActionScript. In this video, you'll learn how to create a map with regions that are highlighted as you hover over them. - 7 - Calculating the Distance Between Two Points (Running Time - 19:18)
It can be very useful to learn how to calculate the distance in pixels between two objects. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use just such a calculation in order to change the size of a movie clip. As the user's mouse cursor gets closer to the movie clip, the movie clip will grow. As the cursor moves away, the movie clip will shrink back to it's original size. - 8 - Smoking Thanksgiving Turkey (Running Time - 13:17)
This tutorial is devoted to smoking your own turkey in Flash. Using the blur filter, you'll learn how to create plumes of fragrant smoke rising off of your perfectly-cooked turkey. - 9 - Using Transparency with Gradients (Running Time - 07:34)

4. ** BONUS ** ($97.00 Value) Web Design webinar entitled: "Building Websites With Real Value - How to Find Clients Who Will Gladly Pay You $10,000 Or More For Their Website"
Stop settling for $500 to $1000 web design projects and start making some real money. More importantly, start building a real business. You know, the kind that will allow you to take some time off and still have money coming in. The kind of business where you are building an asset that can be sold at some point in the future.
If you are tired of working long hours grinding away in front the computer just to make the same money as a Starbucks barista, then you will be very interested in the following information.
Each week I host a webinar where I show designers the exact skills you need to develop to take your business to the next level. For some, that means being able to go from part-time to full-time. How nice would it be to trade in your day job for a successful business where you call the shots. For others that is means getting your very first client.
I even show the pros how to grow their business. Just last week we had a guy that fit in that top 1% category. He is charging $30,000, on the low end, for a website. He was making more money than almost all of the other 22 attendees combined.
I opened his eyes to some new ideas, one of which has the potential to double his already successful business. That is the thing about the top 1% - they are always anxious to learn something new. He could have easily passed on the opportunity to attend the webinar based on his success, but there he was soaking up new ideas to grow his business.
How To Attend The Webinar
The webinar is a 2 hour presentation plus a live Q and A session. Most of these sessions last over three hours.
We use Webex to facilitate the webinars. This allows you to watch and listen to the live presentation via the web. We use the chat feature to create a very interactive experience. I am constantly asking questions and polling the audience. This has resulted in some great sessions allowing you to learn from other attendees also.
