a good attempt Joseph, but it needs more work.
Hi Geoff. This is part one of two and is meant to be an introductory demonstration of how something like a film trailer site can be easily put together in Flash Catalyst with little fuss. Many more details will be covered in the second part. Were you expecting something more thorough?
Why doesn’t it say part one like the rest of the tutorials on this whole network hmmmm! :) Just playing – good intro
That’s cool Joseph, i’m looking forward to seeing the second part. i couldn’t help but notice that the text boxes get cut-off. other than that, it looks pretty good. this is the first Catalyst demo i’ve seen with video. keep it up man! ;-)
thanks!! definitely looking forward to part 2!
nice site/demo reel geoff.

I actually made a Website using Flash Catalyst for an upcoming Indie flick “Pathfinders: In the Company Of Strangers”.

Wow, this is an amazing tutorial. I really appreciate people like you that make it easy to understand the functions of design programs. Thank you!
