Using Flash, Web designers can easily create engaging graphics, while Web developers can build advanced Web applications using scripting, forms, and server-side connectivity. Macromedia Flash 5 Authorized introduces you to the major features of Flash and guides you step-by-step through the development of several Flash projects. The 18 lessons are profusely illustrated with screen captures to help you check your progress through each project. By the end of lesson 18, you'll be able to use Action Scripting, video, and timelines to build Flash projects that include engaging animation, interactivity, and sound. Manageable task-oriented sessions let users work through the lessons at their own pace.
