Description

Macromedia Flash MX provides a wide range of tools for drawing, painting, and working with audio and video. Because all of these elements are handled similarly in Flash, developers can leverage their existing understanding of the program to incorporate them and easily enhance basic Flash movies.

In this class, you will learn about creating more complex graphics and text in Flash, how to incorporate audio and video to your movie, and how to ensure that your work is accessible to the widest possible audience. You will have plenty of hands-on practice, and an opportunity to make your own animation ready for use on the Web. Bring a PC-formatted Zip disk (not a floppy) if you'd like to save the project you create in the tutorial.
