Flash I
Add Flash to your range of web design skills. Master the fundamentals of the most powerful and versatile tool for creating animation and interactivity for the web. Through in-class projects this course will show you how to create basic but professional-quality motion graphics for banner ads or web presentations, and how to build Flash-based web sites. The course starts with the basics of Flash interface, moves through tools and techniques into the design, planning and creation of Flash projects, and includes real-world considerations for preparing and publishing Flash files on the web.
Flash II
Extend your command of the interactive power of Flash with this intermediate-level class. Add sophisticated techniques for creating multi-level movies that improve load time, using movie clips to organize and manipulate content and importing and controlling sound files. Learn advanced techniques for Flash's vector drawing tools and work with files imported from other programs. This course also de-mystifies the fundamentals of ActionScript. Flash's powerful scripting language can be surprisingly simple to use and gives you extraordinary control over animation and response to user actions. The course is flexible enough to accommodate student requests to explore particular aspects of this versatile program. Prerequisite: Adobe Flash I.
