Dennis’ solution was exactly what I needed. Well, actually, not quite what I needed. His solution worked for getting the data from the database and importing it to Flash. That was the biggest hurdle. What it did not do was allow for importing separate records. So I modified it.

Three Point Process
Whenever I am given an image, I rarely leave it as is. I always try to manipulate it some way to enhance it. I have a foundation of procedures that I use in nearly every image. Some images require me to use more than these, but virtually every photo I touch goes through the same process.
Creating Bookmarks in Acrobat

EyeTrack III Study Released
The Poynter Institute published a study called EyeTrack III recently. It reveals results of eye movement tracking of a small group of web users. It is a very fascinating read.
Don’t Design for Full Screen
Stop making your websites go to full screen automatically! I mean it. Stop it.
Creating VCS Files in ColdFusion
One thing I have been trying for months to do on the Faculty of Management website is to create VCS files on the fly. VCS files are what Outlook and other calendaring software use to pass calendar items between each other. When I added an event to our database with ColdFusion, I wanted it to create a VCS file that the user could then download to his/her calendar.
Design Ideas for Telephone Directory
As the new ward clerk, I have been notified that I need to put together the new ward telephone directory. I am looking for ideas.
Most of my design experience has been digital. Most of that digital work is web related. It is very rare for me to do a print design. It is even rarer to do a print design that consists of more than a logo. I have just never received many requests for print work. Maybe that says something about Lethbridge.
