Résumé

Flash 5 Hands-on Training is a tutorial-based learning tool for beginning Flash designers from Lynda Weinman's best-selling Hands-on Training series. With no prior experience using Flash, users will be led through a series of exercises that start quite simply and increase in complexity, until they have learned how to use all of the basic tools in Flash 5. Beginning with the drawing tools, users will learn how to create art and basic shape tweens, convert their art to symbols and then create motion tweens, and gradually build more complex animations and buttons by learning how to use multiple scenes, layers, movie clips, and the basic ActionScripting features that ship with the program. Like the other books in the Hands-on Training series, this book comes with a companion CD-ROM that includes a trial version of the software, the complete exercise files, and QuickTime movies featuring demonstrations from the authors.
