Product Description

Advanced Flash MX: ActionScript in Action is designed to take Flash developers and Web programmers to the next level in creating professional Flash animations and powerful movies. The author uses examples throughout the book to show readers how to enhance their web sites with the newest tools of Flash MX, including creating animations from scratch, and advanced movie manipulations. Video clips on the accompanying CD-ROM show the example Flash movies in action--the effect of different bits of code on the movies, and what should be happening once the code is in place. Where necessary the author provides audio narration explaining what's going on. Every example, where appropriate, has an accompanying movie on the CD.
