Book Overview:

Flash is Macromedia's standard for interactive vector graphics and animation on the Web -- and Flash 4 is the most powerful version yet! Now, learn Flash 4 in a flash from professional Web designers who teach through real-world projects you can actually view live on a linked Web site! Start with the Flash basics: drawing and modifying text and shapes; using texture fills, transparency, and imported graphics. Discover how to animate pages using timelines, frames, tweening and fading; then add interactivity with symbols, buttons, actions, and sound effects. Walk through the process of publishing to the Web, including pre-loading, detecting the Flash plug-in, and controlling server settings. Fine-tune your graphics with reshaping, intersections, and brush effects; build animated opening sequences; use transitions, forms, and more. Best of all, the book's projects are linked with a live Web site where you can see (and download) the same Flash effects in various stages of completion.
