Adobe Flash 101: An Overview of Flash CS3
Three Day Flash Training Course

This Level 1 course provides beginning students with no prior Flash experience the knowledge and hands-on practice they need to create rich media ads, presentations, animation, and interactive multimedia for web and desktop. Learn about vector and bitmap graphics, tweening, frame-by-frame animation, symbols (graphic, movieClip, and Button), instance properties, instance effects, filters, motion guides, masking, and more in this fun 3-day class!

This class is for students who are new to Adobe Flash (or who have used Flash only to build applications) that want to use it to build rich media applications that effectively use animation, sound, text, graphics, and video.


No previous experience with the program is required. All students should be familiar with using a mouse, file management, and general operations of a Macintosh or Windows operating system.
