AMS4 Training

[CD_MANIAC]

Will you guys be making a training cd for this version?
I like version 3.0, easy to use for me but love version 4 and is more complex for me. A training cd would be a delight since I would like to maximize the use of version 4.
And maybe build a site where people can exchange tutorials and templates.
Please consider all the above, it would help many users of AMS 4! Thank you!!

Scott over at Click-n-Learn (http://www.clicknlearn.com) is already working on it! Keep an eye out for it in the coming months. If you have any ideas of stuff you would like to see in there, email scott@clicknlearn.com.

Is it just me, or does it say they're making a Training CD for version 3.0 only?? /ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif

[Brett]

They have already mande one for v3.0 (quite a while ago). They are DEVELOPING the v4.0 version now I believe.

How about the other 2 ideas? Tut's and template xchange...

[Ted]

We're hard at work on www.autoplayzone.com!

There's a ton of new things coming down the pipe in the next few months. The new site will feature things like a a place to share templates with other users and much more.

That is way cool!! I can not wait.

First we had to wait for version 4 and now we have to wait for autoplayzone.com /ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif

That aussie (Scott) sure has a knack for presenting training materials! He kinda sounds like the Crocodile Hunter /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

G'day mate!

[CD_MANIAC]

G'day!
Here at Clicknlearn we are working hard to come up with some very creative training for you. There are lot new concepts and programming hurdles to learn to get the most out of AMS4. We have a number of projects for AMS4 that I am sure will unlock your creativity and even make you go Wwoooww I didnt know it could do that.
On another note:
What would you like us to include?
What are you finding are the main hurdles?
Do you have any Ideas for a great end project that we could use for training?
Email me at scottg@clicknlearn.com

Have a good one!

[AGRO]

I know it is to early to tell and you are probably tired of hearing this, but any idea when the projected finished date is? And about how much $ ?

As far as what we would like on there.....
1. I think the integration with flash and the scripting to control the two with autoplay.
2. More XML tutorials: what we can do with it.
3. examples and examples!!!

[Derek]

I second that!

I'd definately like to see something on how to include macros using the SAX tool

I have a project coming up within the next few months in which I have to create a multimedia guided tour for our software. This will replace the one I did with Power Point and AMS3 over a year and half ago.

In this new application, I need to include text, screen shots, and video screen captures with audio. To me, the hardest part about a project like this to come up with a good format in which to arrange the different types of media on a page. Once the structure is set, the rest eventally falls into place.

If you could give some good examples of ways to organize and present different media types for multimedia training CDs, that would help me tremendously.

This may be more up MC's alley though! /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

AMS4 makes me like an idiot! I even can't figure out how to make a button to play ONE mp3 file not to say a whole list! totally different from AMS3.....
