Synopsis

Looking for guide to Macromedia Flash that goes beyond the basics? You're not alone. This popular software has generated an enormous demand for advanced Flash titles, but most third-party books offer limited instruction in Action Scripting and Movie Clips--essential functions for complex Flash interactivity.

Well, look no further than Flash 5 Advanced for Windows & Macintosh: Visual QuickPro Guide. This is not your typical cookbook-style guide with examples for users to copy. Instead, this thorough reference covers the advanced features and techniques of Flash, and demonstrates ways to approach animation and interactivity, encouraging you to think in Flash. The book covers five main topics: advanced animation, understanding ActionScript, navigation, transforming graphics and sound, and working with information, and uses the same task-based, visual reference format of the Visual QuickStart Guide series.

Book Overview:

Flash, Macromedia's vector-based Web animation and authoring tool, is ideal for delivering dynamic content on the Web. Many corporate Web sites use Flash to communicate their brands; movie studios promote theatrical releases with Flash; and online games and videos provide rich user experiences with Flash. Not surprisingly, the popularity of Flash content on the Web has generated an enormous demand for advanced Flash developers. Flash 5 Advanced: Visual QuickPro Guide is geared for developers who are already familiar with the basics of Flash and are ready to build more complex projects. Russell Chun, an experienced Flash instructor, sidesteps cool effects and specific case studies in favor of demonstrating basic ways to approach animation and interactivity in Flash. By presenting material in a logical fashion that emphasizes method and problem-solving approaches, this book encourages readers to begin to think in Flash and truly understand its flexibility and functionality. The text is divided into three sections: advanced animations, advanced navigation, and advanced interactivity. All of Flash 5's new features are covered, including its improved interface, Freehand import ability, Bezier pen tools, and the Movie Explorer. The companion CD-ROM includes a demo copy of Flash 5 and links to useful Flash Web sites, tutorials, and Flash examples.
