Embed a Button

Click the text above and see if this works. I'm not sure why the button is taking up so much space in the blog. Here's the flash file that generated the code. Thanks to Jake for tracking down the embed source code example.
UPDATE--I fixed the whoppin' space around the button issue. If you pay even a small amount of attention to the source code, you'll see that you have to enter height and width pixel dimensions in two places. I only entered them in one place. Oops. Goes along with my typo, I guess.

Wednesday January 7 is coming for you. Are you Ready?

1. Check your blog on the list and make sure it's working. If your blog isn't on there or isn't working post a comment to THIS post with corrections. I commented on your interactive blog posts and will be commenting at least once a week. Cruise your classmates' blogs and leave at least one comment.

2. Link to your classmates' sites on your blog. Customize > Add a Gadget > Link list or blog list.

3. Today we'll be working with some flash basics. At the end of the day you should:
a) Export 3-4 jpegs/gifs/pngs of your work and post them on yer blogs. Use one of these images as a profile image.

b) Export and post a .swf file. To do this, you'll need to have a way to post material to the internet. Here's a tutorial on how to do this.

c) Export and post a quicktime video to your blog.

4. Over the weekend post some images to use as "color scheme" research. Check out the Kuler site.
