1. A note from the teamZarinmedia is now entering its 4th year of

operation in the online new media industry. That makes us 1000 years old in internet terms!

2.2 E-learning: Flash Tutorial

It all started as an e-learning experiment in delivery of technical instructional information via streamed Quicktime Video. The subject of the tutorial was the real-time image manipulation of a face. The tutorial was recognized on various Flash resource sites (e.g. http://www.flashmagazine.com/), and as a result has not only enjoyed overwhelming downloads, but 8100+ unique views in 2.5 months.

We recently discovered an innovative implementation of this tutorial at: http://www.jumpingjokes.com/mensroom.htm
