Bespoke Flash CC - 2 Day Introduction

Course Details

Adobe Flash CC 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 CC 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 2 day beginners course, we focus on using Adobe Flash CC for the creation of visually attractive vector and animation based websites and page elements. We look at creating artwork in Flash CC 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 2 day course you will have a good understanding of the core features of Flash CC and how to use them to create visually attractive, interactive web elements.

Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites:

This course is intended for designers and developers who are new to Flash and who want to learn the interface and commonly used features.

You will need basic PC or Mac skills, including a solid understanding of a computer's operating system (Windows or Mac OS). You will also need to know how to launch a program, create and save files, and copy files from CDs and other media.
