Macromedia Flash MX is a wonderful tool for the creation of incredible web sites. Virtual Training Company's tutorial is aimed at designers, those who create graphical Flash content, such as animations, interactive web navigation controls, interactive web sites, games, and movies. Rick Martin, your instructor, starts off slowly by introducing you to the interface, setup, and the basics of Flash you need to know to get started, such as the difference between vector and bitmap graphics. He guides you through the many tools available. From there, he takes you through panels, timelines, and creating artwork. You will also learn to import sound, control movie clips, activate buttons, and much more.
