Foundation Flash 5 - Page 2

    Foundation Flash 5 is just that. The foundation. The basis for your creation. This guide assumes, and rightly so, that you have no former knowledge of the program. Ground zero. Sham Bhangal, Amanda Farr, Patrick Rey take you from opening the program to creating your own effects. Covering, in vast detail, the tools of the trade. You're introduced to button creation and actions, motion tweening, object manipulations, etc.

    The guide comes divided into three sections: Flash Basics. Here, you'll learn all of the tools, Movie Essentials, Symbols, etc. Your next stop is Flash in Action. Covering Motion Tweening, Masking, Sound, Optimization and more. You end your journey with Intermediate Flash. You'll be introduced to ActionScripting and High-Level Site Design.

  The book is written in an easy to understand format. It refuses to take the "Teach yourself ___ in 24 hrs approach". The authors as well as Friends of ED publishing know that to learn something properly takes time. So it's layed out in an easy access format.
