Summary

This full-colour book is organised into lessons, with easy-to-follow instructions, tips, examples, and review questions at the end of every lesson. Each lesson is self- contained, so you can go through the entire book sequentially or just focus on individual lessons. Topics covered include: What's new in Flash CS3; Flash CS3 jumpstart; Drawing tools; Modifying and transforming graphics; Working with symbols and the library; ActionScript; Working with video and audio. In addition, every book in this series also comes with a DVD with video demos and exercise files for the lessons, including projects in various stages of completion, rather than just the usual "start" and "finished" versions.
