Once you have completed Web authoring using Macromedia Dreamweaver
you should have a working, ready to publish Web portfolio. The Web portfolio
would be considered an HTML-based Web site. All you really need is an
HTML-based Web site. Loading times, user accessibility, space needs, and
development difficulty are all lessened in the case of an HTML Web portfolio
versus a flash based Web portfolio. The scenario is to have a stable HTML
Web portfolio that integrates some multimedia components developed in
Macromedia flash. The amount of flash components that you place in the Web
portfolio is entirely up to you. The next chapter addresses motion graphics and
audio development using Macromedia flash and Adobe audition. The chapter
is somewhat technical in nature. But, again only the most important flash
components for Web portfolio inclusion are shown. What I have tried to give
you are some simple techniques that you can use to create flash text animations
and a simple audio switch which allows the user to turn a Web portfolio
soundtrack on or off.
Now let's go to the next chapter and examine motion graphics and multimedia
production in the context of the Web portfolio.
