In this 2-hour mini class for Adobe Flash, you will create a <a href = “http://www.tonyteach.com/edufire/”> simple interactive project.
This project, though very simple in appearance, shows the basic elements that are needed to build interactive projects in Flash: buttons, images, sound, animation, and Actionscript 2.0 (Flash’s computer language).

This class is for the newbie, beginner, or some one who wants to brush up on Flash. For those who have never even opened Adobe Flash, this class gives you a look into what all is involved in a basic project. That way you can either say, Wow, that’s really simple, or Whoa, I had no idea it was that involved! Either way, you will have a 2-hour introduction into the world of interactive Flash.

Here is the class outline:
1. Flash Intro and Interface
2. Document Properties
3. Masking and Shape Tweens
4. Importing Images and Sound
5. Symbols and Motion Tweens
6. Button Symbol States
7. Timeline Actionscript
8. Button Actionscript
9. Labels
10. Publish Settings and html

I will be teaching using Flash CS4, as well as giving notes for CS3. If you don’t own Flash, <a href = “http://www.adobe.com/go/tryflash”>you can download a 30 day demo here.

Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you all in class.
