OVERVIEW

OBJECTIVES

• Upon successful completion of the Multimedia Design with Adobe Flash program, you’ll know how to use Flash to:
• Create graphics in the Flash environment using drawing tools, and modify objects with fills and strokes, gradients, transformations, groups, and other tools.
• Use layers and symbols to organize and reuse Flash graphics, and create and edit symbol instances to produce complex artwork.
• Use frames, keyframes, and the Flash timeline to control when graphics appear on the stage.
• Apply motion tweens to animate changes in the appearance and location of objects and create animations with text, 3D space, or using nested animation, shape tweens, and masks.
• Create buttons that display video and audio feedback using the four button states.
• Apply basic video edits in Adobe Media Encoder and output to Flash FLV and F4V formats.
• Embed, load, and skin Flash video and control playback with ActionScript.
• Use modularity, including loading of external files, to create flexible, editable complex Flash movies.
• Use hyperlinking to connect Flash to external Web sites and publish your Flash projects for the Web.
• Write and troubleshoot basic ActionScript 3.0 syntax.
• Assign basic visual properties to objects and dynamically control objects on the Stage.
• Use event listeners and MouseEvents to offer user interactivity and control.
• Track user mouse motion and location and use multiple timelines for animated responses to user events.
• Create basic drag and drop functionality with appropriate parameters and constraints.
• Set up and use variables to store and process information and use operators, expressions, and conditional statements to control information flow.
• Create and control Dynamic text boxes to display information to the user, and create and control Input text boxes to accept information from the user.
• Use coordinates and the Display List to manage objects on the Stage and draw graphics to the Stage dynamically based on user input.
• Use Flash drawing tools, onion skinning, symbols, and layers to design a character and prepare it for animation.
• Create a series of communicative facial expressions and use symbols...
