Adobe Flash CS4 - One Day Introduction training — Bespoke

Adobe Flash CS4 is now a web standard and the only widely distributed technology for integrating vector graphics and animation into web sites. This combination of design and animation tools is complimented by a strong development environment that allows programmers to create highly interactive database driven technologies. Adobe Flash CS4 sees the arrival of a host of exciting new features, including an improved script editor (with a visual interface); a revamped library interface; a new Undo feature; powerful run-time effects; and breakthrough motion-graphics capabilities to name but a few.

In this one day beginners’ course, we focus on using Adobe Flash CS4 for the creation of visually attractive vector and animation based websites and page elements. We look at creating artwork in Flash CS4 as well as importing artwork and images into Flash files. We also work with text, creating navigation systems, and creating interactive elements that contain sound and video.

By the end of this one-day course you will have a good understanding of the core features of Flash CS4 and how to use them to create visually attractive, interactive web elements.
