Learn Flash

Components (or Smart Clips) are pretty complicated. I have the basics down now, but what I really learned was more how to use other people’s components, rather than make my own. I made one however so now I basically have all the fundamentals of Flash down. I have just a few more steps to put it all together before I can officially check it off as done – but I am darn close.

I now have a pretty thorough grasp of how ActionScripting works and can use the object action window to create interactivity and I can also create and manipulate properties. Now it is on to learning more about Smart Clips.

I just learned how to use actions to create non-linear events within my Flash movies. Now it is getting exciting. I have been waiting to start learning how to add functionality to my files.

I have just learned how to create buttons. Pretty interesting, now the next step is to use actions to create non-linear movies. I cannot wait!

I got through animating in Flash, now I am moving on to adding interactivity and Advanced Animation. Learning Flash is actually pretty fun.

...now on to animating.

I am learning Flash 5 via Sams Teach Yourself Macromedia Flash 5 in 24 Hours. I realize this is not the latest Flash by far, but it is what I got and I figured it will lay a nice foundation.
