Foundation Actionscript

OK, so you've got the Flash 5 basics under your belt. You've built your typical timeline-based movie but you know that Flash 5 has a lot more to offer your creativity. Foundation ActionScript will open up this new gateway and take you through the transition from linear animation to produce cutting-edge dynamic Flash web sites, all the time remembering that you're a designer, not a programmer. With the emphasis on practicality rather than theory, each chapter will follow the Foundation model and introduce a new topic backed up with step by step examples that combine into a working web site full of ActionScript tricks. You will begin by learning how to plan your ActionScript project, adding actions that provide simple timeline control and taking the full tour through re-usable code, adding sound and building your first interactive Flash 5 game! ActionScript may look like a whole new ball game, but this book will show you that the rules aren't all that different and ! the end result is more exhilarating than you know!
