Learning Flash

The book includes several step-by-step lessons, designed to teach you the fundamentals of Flash.
We recommend that you go through the lessons using the sample files provided. The path to the
sample file is provided in each lesson.
By completing these hands-on lessons, you’ll learn how to use Flash to add text, graphics, and
animation to your Flash applications. Additionally, you’ll learn how easy it is to customize your
Flash application by using ActionsScript and behaviors.
The lessons are targeted toward beginners to intermediate-level Flash designers and developers
who want to get up to speed quickly.
Each lesson focuses on a specific Flash design feature or topic and takes approximately 10–20
minutes to complete, depending on your experience. You can follow the lessons in this book in
order, or you can start with a lesson or task that best suits your interests and experience.
The Quick Start lessons provide an opportunity to explore the Flash workspace. In these lessons,
you learn how to create a Flash document, write ActionScript, work with video and video control
behaviors, and add a Flash component.
