About the Authors

Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, Ethan Watrall completed his bachelor's degree with

distinction at the University of Regina, with a double major in anthropology and history.

While an undergraduate, he participated in many archaeological excavations in Saskatchewan,

Manitoba, and Indiana.

After graduation, Ethan was accepted into the Ph.D. program in anthropology at Indiana

University. There, he has directed his academic energies toward two main subjects. The first,

which represents a culmination of years of archaeological experience, is household craft

production in Predynastic Egypt. He has worked at both Nabta Playa (an extremely large

Neolithic habitation site in the Egyptian Western Desert) and Hierakonpolis (arguably the

most important extant Predynastic site in all of Egypt), where he has excavated such cool

things as prehistoric wells, clay mines, households, animal enclosures, pottery kilns, and

cemeteries. His current research at the HK11 locality, a Late Predynastic village at

Hierakonpolis, has consistently yielded information that challenges and greatly expands the

current understanding of Predynastic Egyptian households.

The second subject that Ethan has focused on is the place of interactive media in archaeology.

Whether from the standpoint of an educational tool, a method for scholarly publication, or

simply an issue deserving academic discussion, Ethan has dedicated himself to expanding the

dialog surrounding interactive media and archaeology. He is particularly interested in the role

that interactive entertainment plays in the public perception of archaeology-a topic on which

he has published and delivered papers targeted to both professional archaeologists and

professional game designers. Not content to simply comment on the situation, Ethan preaches

active involvement on the part of academics in the interactive entertainment industry.

Beyond academia, Ethan is also an active practitioner of interactive media. He is a faculty

member at both Ivy Tech State University, Columbus (Indiana), and Ivy Tech State College,

Bloomington (Indiana), where he teaches classes in interactive design and multimedia.

Ethan's first book, Dreamweaver 4/Fireworks 4 Visual JumpStart , was published by Sybex,

Inc., in February 2001 and has been translated into Chinese and Greek. He is also writing his

third book, Dreamweaver MX: Design and Technique , which will be published by Sybex in

the summer of 2002.

Ethan's digital alter ego can be found hanging out at www.captainprimate.com .

Norbert Herber grew up in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. At 16, he began his musical

career as a jazz saxophonist, trading sets with the swing tenor legend Irv Williams. After

cutting his teeth in the Twin Cities, he entered the Indiana University School of Music,

Bloomington. Here, he continued his studies of jazz with David Baker, pursuing interests in

improvisation, arranging, music theory, woodwinds, and composition.

After graduation, Norbert worked as a freelance musician and arranger while founding his

own group, the x-tet , and writing a score for the short film Jambalaya . His musical interests

soon merged with digital media. Yearning to explore the relationships between sound, text,

imagery, and storytelling, he returned to Indiana University for graduate work in the MIME

program in the Department of Telecommunications. Here, he began an intense, concentrated

study of electronic music, film scoring, sound design, and interactive musical composition.

Currently, Norbert is pursuing several interactive, digital media projects, including Word Is

Virus , a sonic exploration of the writings and techniques of William S. Burroughs. His

interests are centered around the use of audio in interactive environments, nonlinear music

composition, and the effects of the sound-picture relationship in both linear and nonlinear

media. Norbert is an instructor at the International Academy of Design and Technology in

Chicago, where he teaches classes in multimedia development and scripting, interactive

design, and digital audio.

Dedication

To Taylor, with the hope that someday she'll write books far better than this one.

This book goes out to Jenny. Your patience, love, and understanding made this possible.

Acknowledgments

As with any book-especially one of this size-there are quite a number of people who deserve

thanks for their help in bringing this project to fruition. First and foremost, I must extend my

thanks to my friend, coauthor, and partner in many digital shenanigans: Norb Herber. A hefty

book (covering an application of Flash MX's complexity) in which two authors share writing

duties is an undertaking rife with possibilities for disaster. Instead, we managed to create a

book with some serious neckwear punch. Here's to many more fruitful collaborations! To all

those who graciously gave permission to use their work as Inspirational Design Models or in

the Color section (there are way too many folks to list by name-they know who they are), I

offer my profound thanks. I especially want to thank Joost van Schaik and Brian Taylor,

whose contributions and help were above and beyond the call of duty. On a more personal

level, as always I want to express my profound love and gratitude to Jenn. She graciously put

up with my lunacy and long hours on the computer during the year that this book was being

written, rewritten, revised, re-revised, and so on, and so on. Thanks also to both Mom and

Dad and my good friend Neil Birch for their support during this project. Finally, a special

thank-you (and a good tummy rub) to my dog, Oscar; nothing brings you down to earth like a

puppy who wants nothing more in life than to play. Lastly, my sincere apologies to anyone

whom I managed to forget. Thanks, everybody!

Ethan Watrall

Not only was this book a team effort by two authors, but each of us had our own "support

staff" to help us through many late nights with the digital quill and ink. For starters, I extend

my thanks to Bill Frisell, Miles Davis, James Brown, and many others for providing the

musical catalyst that inspired much of this text. Thanks also to Peet's Coffee and Tea for the
