Synopsis

Looking for guide to Macromedia Flash that goes beyond the basics? You're not alone. This popular software has generated an enormous demand for advanced Flash titles, but most third-party books offer limited instruction in Action Scripting and Movie Clips--essential functions for complex Flash interactivity.

Well, look no further than Flash 5 Advanced for Windows & Macintosh: Visual QuickPro Guide. This is not your typical cookbook-style guide with examples for users to copy. Instead, this thorough reference covers the advanced features and techniques of Flash, and demonstrates ways to approach animation and interactivity, encouraging you to "think" in Flash. The book covers five main topics: advanced animation, understanding ActionScript, navigation, transforming graphics and sound, and working with information, and uses the same task-based, visual reference format of the Visual QuickStart Guide series.

Rather than presenting `cookbook-style' Flash examples for users to copy, this guide demonstrates ways to approach animation and interactivity, encouraging users to begin to `think' in Flash. The book contains five sections: advanced animation, understanding ActionScript, navigation, transferring graphics and sound, and working with information.The Visual QuickPro Guide uses the same task-based, visual reference format of the Visual QuickStart Guide series.
