Readjusted schedule due to visitors
We will be having camera coming in to shoot some b roll today for a CAWD advertisement that is featuring Lodie and Angel from last year, who took 1st in the nation in web design. B-roll is the footage they may show when the students are talking (you don’t want to just show someone talking for 30 seconds). We may move some students around to different desks for the shot, if we do this just open up the class website so you have our homepage on the screen. They are coming in somewhere around 11:40. If we do what they ask, and continue to work efficiently, they will be gone by lunch – and lunch will start at 12:00 as normal.

After this heading you will use the the object code to place your Flash movie (.swf) into your xhtml document. Don’t forget to follow best practices and use a “swfs” folder to store your Flash movie. The object code can be found in the resource section of the CAWD site.
