So you want to add snappy interactivity and animations to your Web
pages, but don't want to create huge "click-here-and-go-get-a-sandwich"
files? Flash may be the technology for you.
It doesn't require the scripting savvy of dynamic HTML, and if you've
ever used Macromedia's Director, you already have a head start. Even if you
haven't, Mike Kay is here to help you catch up.
Mike teaches you how to animate in a Flash by running down what tools
you need and then showing you how to use them. He concludes with the scoop
on infusing your Flash animations with a touch of interactivity and sound,
and he loads your plate with things to learn for the future.
Warning! This tutorial is for Flash 4. If you're using Flash 5, then hop on over to the Flash 5 Tutorial. And if you're old-schooling it with Flash 3, then use the Flash 3 Tutorial.
