Synopsis

Flash, which started as a program to create and animate vector art, has developed into a tool to create graphics on the web which incorporate animation, sound, and color. Exercises take Flash beginners through the basics of creating graphic elements, transforming them into animation, then adding ActionScript and sounds to make the animation into an interactive movie. The final section teaches the Flash Publish feature to create the HTML that will put the movie onto the web. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
