Studio Factory - Flash MX by Arnaud Blanche

This title in the Studio Factory collection describes in detail each feature of Macromedia's Flash MX, the highly successful application for creating vector-based web animations. After a brief introduction to the Flash environment, you will discover all the tools for drawing and for inserting text, sound, images and other elements into your animated clips, and then learn how to mange and transform the object that make up an animation. After an overview of animation techniques, you will see how to work creatively with all the elements of an animation, including building a movie by inserting images, working with tweening and managing the timeline. You will discover how to optimise your work by using libraries of symbols and Movie Explorer and how to create interactive animations by working with ActionScript. You will also learn how to publish your finished project, be it for a CD-ROM, the Internet or another medium.
