We begin this class where we left off in the Intro class. We delve into more complex animation which consists of mask and motion guides. You will be introduced to more symbols….animated graphic symbols and movie clips and adding and customizing sound. We discuss more complex interactivity between scenes and movie clips using Go To and With actions with frame numbers and frame labels. We wind the class up with creating a drop down menu and basic preloaders.

Flash MX2004/ 8 /CS3 Introduction Class

February 3rd, 2008 admin

Course Description

Flash is a very popular authoring software for creating interactive animation for the web - from simple animated logos to full scale Flash web sites. This 6 week Intro course focuses on learning the interface, tools, and basic features of Flash. You will create animated logos, buttons, and simple movies to brighten up your web site.

Flash is software which gives web developers the ability to create interactive, animated web sites. Before Flash appeared on the scene, creating animated web sites (especially with sound) involved using large, multiple files. This requires high bandwidth that the general public does not have. Flash files, in contrast, can be very small, so bandwidth is less of a concern. Flash also brings a level of advanced animation and interactivity previously unavailable using traditional Internet technology.

ABOUT FLASH

Adobe Flash is a set of multimedia technologies developed and distributed by Adobe Systems, and previously Macromedia. Since its introduction in 1996, Flash technology has become a popular method for adding animation and interactivity to web pages; Flash is commonly used to create animation, advertisements, various web page components, to integrate video into web pages, and more recently, to develop rich Internet applications.

Flash can manipulate vector and raster graphics and supports bi-directional streaming of audio and video. It contains a scripting language called ActionScript. It is available in most common web browsers and some mobile phones and other electronic devices. Several software products, systems, and devices are able to create or display Flash, including the Adobe Flash Player. The Adobe Flash Professional multimedia authoring program is used to create content for web applications, games and movies, and content for mobile phones and other embedded devices.

Files in the SWF format, traditionally called “Flash movies” or “Flash games”, usually have a .swf file extension and may be an object of a web page, strictly “played” in a standalone Flash Player, or incorporated into a Projector, a self-executing Flash movie (with the .exe extension in Microsoft Windows). Flash Video (FLV) files have a .flv file extension and are utilized from within .swf files.
