Working with Content

A Macromedia Authorware piece is made up of logic and content. Logic--the way you arrange and structure icons on the flowline--defines how a piece works. Content--text, graphics, movies, and so on--communicates the information in a piece and gives the piece its look and feel.

This chapter describes how to work with content as you develop an Authorware piece, create and integrate media into a piece, and make the most of the media. It includes cross-references to instructions on using text, graphics, animation, sound, and video.

You can use several types of media in Authorware:

• Text
• Graphics (backgrounds, photos, drawings, diagrams, borders, buttons)
• Digital movies (Macromedia Director movies [Windows only], Macromedia Flash movies, animated GIFs, QuickTime 2 movies, Video for Windows movies, Windows Media Player, PICS)
• Sound (music, voice-overs, sound effects)
• DVD movies
• Other media (Flash, animated GIFs, QuickTime 3 and QuickTime 4 formats)
