The structure of code examples

Now that I have a couple of features available for download I thought it might be useful to explain the structure of the zip files and bit about coding practices. Unpacking the zip file you'll find the MIT licence and two directories:

/src
This directory contains all the source files. All FLA files are set up to publish into the deploy directory. I try to keep the class paths as simple as possible for each of the examples but will probably move things around a bit once I start putting all the modules together.

Most of the examples make use of the font Trajan Pro . There is a lot I could say about this font but I think I'll save it for another post. Suffice to say if you bought a version of CS3 then you should already have it as Adobe include it in most of their software bundles.

/deploy
This directory contains all the files that go on your webserver. SWFObject is always used to embed Flash into an HTML wrapper.
