“T HIS SURE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A SCHOOL .”
YEAH, WE GET THAT A LOT. TECHNICALLY, IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE A SCHOOL. THIS PLACE WAS BUILT TO BE ONE OF THE FINEST RECORDING FACILITIES IN THE WORLD, AND THE FACT THAT OVER 150 GOLD AND PLATINUM RECORDS WERE MADE HERE PROVES THAT IT WAS.
NOW, THESE EXPERTLY DESIGNED STUDIOS ARE YOUR CLASSROOMS. THE OLD-SCHOOL ANALOG AND HIGH-TECH DIGITAL CONSOLES ARE YOUR DESKS. THE VINTAGE MICS, AMPS, COMPRESSORS AND EQUALIZERS, AND THE HD AUDIO AND PRO TOOLS LABS ARE YOUR PENS AND PAPER.
AND THAT’S THE POINT. HOW DO YOU GET REAL-WORLD TRAINING IN A NON-REAL-WORLD ENVIRONMENT? WE’RE NOT SURE. ALL WE KNOW IS THAT THIS WASN’T A SCHOOL BUILDING RETROFIT TO LOOK LIKE STUDIOS. THESE ARE REAL STUDIOS BEING USED FOR REAL-WORLD AUDIO TRAINING.
CHECK OUT THE 360 DEGREE PICTURES BELOW, AND YOU’LL SEE WHAT WE MEAN.

var imagesFromDir = false
Please see the demoSite.fla source for working examples.
Editing
When editing your website, right click over Gallery thumbnails and "Select a File" and choose an xml file of images. You will find the example gallery.xml file in the data/xml directory. Flashblocks ML will take care of the rest, creating both thumbnail and full size images to the specified dimensions.

As before products may be added, rearranged, edited, and deleted by the administrator.
The List Module powered News feed allows for many more options then previously available. Display news in a running list or, as in this example, display just the headlines, with additional viewable details, as in the News 2 example that follows.
