Using step-by-step instructions with projects that build on the knowledge gained in each lesson, students learn the key elements of the Flash interface. From there they learn how to work with graphics, create and edit symbols, modify text, add interactivity with ActionScript 3.0, and incorporate animation and sound into their projects. Students also learn how to take advantage of the new features of Flash CS5. There's also a new real-world project that teaches them how to create interactivity with buttons by creating an interactive restaurant guide. The companion DVD includes lesson files for students to use as they work their way through the lessons in the book, as well as up to two hours of premium video training from Learn Adobe Flash Professional CS5 by Video (9780321719829).
