Flash 4! Creative Web Animation thoroughly covers the three areas you need to know to get the most out of the program: authoring, animation sequencing, and vector-based drawing. The book takes you through every step of a typical project, showing you how to plan, test, and finally publish your work--on CD, via a projector, or on the Web. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned Flash user, you'll find a wealth of helpful knowledge, from the authors' training tour of Web animation to the step-by-step tutorials on the basics of vector drawing. The content-rich CD that accompanies the book contains all the files for the practice exercises, a trial version of Flash 4, and demos of other Macromedia products.
