Macromedia Flash is fast becoming the Web's most widely used platform for
creating rich media with animation and motion graphics, but mastering
Flash isn't easy. Most entry-level books teach through simple examples
that concentrate on either animation or scripting, but rarely both
together. To get the most from Flash 8, you not only need to be
proficient in programming/interface design, you need the creativity for

Flash 8: Projects for Learning Animation and Interactivity teaches Flash
design rather than simply Flash itself. With a standalone series of
walkthroughs and tutorials for Flash beginners coming from a graphics
field, this book teaches Flash in the context of real-world projects.
Rather than learn a Flash tool for the sake of it, you learn which areas
of Flash are important, and which are less used, simply by seeing how
typical content is actually created. And rather than a text-heavy
approach, this graphically rich book leads you through hands-on examples

Each project in the book starts with goals and broad sketches before
moving to design and scripting. This helps you understand design
intent-the why of the process-rather than just learning the interfaces
and the how of it all. Along the way, you'll create Flash content that
includes traditional animation techniques (as seen in full-length
animated features), and ActionScript-based interactive animation, such as
custom web site interface designs. You also learn how to combine both
traditional animation techniques and ActionScript to create feature-rich

Co-authored by educational developers with years of experience creating
compelling content, interfaces, and applications, Flash 8: Projects for
Learning Animation and Interactivity offers a content-driven approach
that is also inspiration-driven. You learn because you're accomplishing
something tangible, not because you think you need to know how a tool

If you want to understand how various features of Flash come together to
create a final end design, this book provides you with both the insight
and the know-how.
