Macromedia Flash MX is now a web standard and the only widely distributed technology for integrating vector graphics and animation into web sites. This combination of design and animation tools is complimented by a strong developement environment that allows programmers to create highly interactive database driven technologies.
In this one day beginners course, we focus on using Flash MX for the creation of visually attractive vector and animation based websites and page elements. We look at creating artwork in Flash MX as well as importing artwork and images into Flash files. We also work with text, creating navigation systems, and creating interactive elements that contain sound and video.
