INST 5245/6245 (Flash CS5) Screencasts and Associated Files
You'll need version 9 of the Flash player to view these screencasts.
There are prior versions of this class corresponding to prior versions of Flash: Flash CS4, Flash CS3, If you need something older than that check: ocw.usu.edu
Although these prior version are available. I highly recommend you use the most current version of the software.
You may not want the handouts but you should download any files for a particular week before watching the screencasts. These contain flash files and later in the course other media (graphics, video & sound) that you'll need to follow along and practice. They also contain files necessary for completing assignments.
If you choose the html option you'll be able to start watching right away via streaming, but the video will not be saved on your computer (meaning that every time you come back, you'll have to start the download process again. If you download the .zip archive then you'll be able to go back to the movie as often as you like without waiting.
