Flash Advanced
This class builds on the skills and concepts taught in Flash Professional: Basic. Students will learn how to create vector illustrations and a variety of animations and scripts; build interactive forms; and apply components, XML, and video content.
Course Content
Create vector paths using the Pen tool, modify
vector paths, and use paths to create mask layers.
Add timeline effects to create transitions and animation, animate masks to selectively hide moving areas, add a motion path to move objects along curves, apply shape tweening to morph one shape into another, and apply custom easing to control acceleration and deceleration of multiple animation properties.
Adjust movie clip properties with ActionScript, make a movie clip move in response to a button click, and convert code created for a specific movie clip to modular code that can act on any movie clip.

Add form components such as CheckBoxes, RadioButtons, and
text input boxes to allow users to enter data, write form validation scripts
to ensure that users enter appropriate data, use ActionScript to style
components, customize a theme, create global and class styles, and apply
dynamic content via components.
Use the Flash 8 Video Encoder application to convert DV content, import a video file into Flash, adjust component parameters, and create code to respond to cue points.
