Flash 4 Magic

21 Flash 4 projects. Professional. Inspirational. Fully customizable. And brought to you by a team of 7 developers and designers who are among today's best Flash designers. Flash 4 Magic offers games (do the names Dodge and Concentration mean anything to you?) and utilities (such as a clock that uses external JavaScript and a poll application that uses external PHP scripting). And more. Just follow the steps. Take a look at the graphics. Check out the CD that includes all the project code. Each New Riders Magic book has been created with you, the computer graphics professional, in mind. Complete effects, adaptable solutions, time-saving techniques, and practical applications. Because computer technology books-like the souls who use them-aren't all alike. So whether you design chops, looking for a new way of doing an effect, or simply seeking creative advice, crack open a Magic book and get started...
