From the Back Cover

Flash! Creating Web Animation is a complete introduction to Flash from one of Macromedia's own training experts, Darrel Plant. It shows even the newest "newbie" how to make streaming animations, rollover buttons, animated logos other moving graphics that load and play instantly. The book covers Flash's drawing tools, animation controls, file format support, and its easy-to-use versions of multimedia features like in-betweening, and "onion-skinning."After readers master these tools, they learn how to make the most of the unique vector drawing tools that allow Flash to generate very compact, screamingly fast-loading files that are scalable to different resolutions. Finally, readers learn the rules for using animation effectively: how to make it useful for the viewer; how to plan Flash integration into a Web site; and how to make animated Web content easy to maintain.
