Making Menus for Digital Transmission (ie. iTunes)
Was curious as to how one makes a menu for digital transmission (like the ones in iTunes when you buy a movie)
Would that be the same as Encore CS4 export to Flash??
I’ve been hoping to find the answer to this question to determine what other programs (if any) I may have to learn for the future of menu creation.What format does iTunes use for this? Thanks!!

I’ve never purchased a movie through iTunes, so I don’t know for sure, but I would imagine it uses flash.

Apple loathes Flash and would never base the iTunes Store on it. It’s a combination of Webkit, perhaps with some added CSS, QuickTime and maybe some HTML 5. The current version of iTunes is essentially a Safari browser under the hood btw and the iTunes Store is a secure website only accessible through the iTunes Application. Well unless you happen to work at Apple that is…

Noah,
I was not aware of Apple’s reluctance to use Flash. Thank you for your input.

Kinda sorta- they’re not really native. It’s basically a Flash emulator. Just what the iPhone didn’t need. Fun fact- Flash is responsible for something like 90% of all crashes in Safari due to Adobe’s implementation of a cross-platform app.
