From the Author
I wrote this book for the beginning/intermediate user to learn Flash in a hands-on, project-based approach. My goal is to teach Flash skills through the development of a Flashed Web site. By presenting skills in relation to a project, you will quickly learn the basics of Flash design and development. I included advanced techniques for integrating a panoramic 360 degree movie, smart clips, and intelligent ActionScripting. You can easily transfer all skills learned to your own Web development.
Customer Reviews & Comments Great book. I left another that I had stalled on and moved to this book. I managed eight chapters before I knew that I had gone that far. This is a great tool for learning. I am 53 and found it very supportive and great at keeping me wanting to continue succesive chapters once things began to develop. I would strongly reccommend this book to anyone who wanted a basic understanding of Flash 5 and its versatility. Thank you Cheryl - Thank you Macromedia
