Synopsis

Flash has long been famous for its spectacular graphical capabilities, and the first question of any Flash beginner is "how do I copy the effects on my favorite site" Flash CS4 will be released Q4 2008, and includes a host of new graphical features, such as native 3D and enhanced video. This book describes how to manipulate those along with many other existing graphical effects using code. The book focuses purely on graphical manipulation in Flash, and includes Adobe's new Pixel Bender technology for complex but incredibly fast image manipulation.

About this title

About the Author

After studying theatre in London, then working for several years as an actor in the U.S., Todd Yard was introduced to Flash in 2000 and was quickly taken by how it allowed for both stunning creativity and programmatic logic application—a truly left-brain, right brain approach to production—and has not looked back. He now freelances as a Flash developer in New York City, creating both silly animations and utilitarian applications. His personal work and experimentation can be found at his website, 27Bobs.com.
