ABSTRACT:

Macromedia Flash 5 is the standard for delivering low-bandwidth vector animation and interactivity over the Web. Increasingly, designers of educational media-based tools are required to apply their skills to developing in Flash.

This full day hands-on workshop is for those who are familiar with Flash 5 and would like to take their understanding of its animation features and interactivity to a more advanced level. We will explore methods for building more complex animations using Movie Clips and integrating interactivity into our projects using ActionScript. Participants should have a basic working knowledge of Flash 5 (drawing, basic symbol and shape animation, and rudimentary understanding of ActionScript).

BENEFIT TO PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING SESSION:

Participants in this Pre-Workshop will benefit from hands-on instruction of concepts that they may apply to realistic project parameters. This workshop may be of particular interest to media designers developing web-based animation and interactive tools.
