Course Description

Flash CS4 has brought some remarkable new enhancements to the Flash platform and authoring experience, from 3D animation on the timeline, to brand new motion tweens with a motion path editor. At the same time, Adobe has changed up the interface (yes, again). So before you can learn how to use any of the new features in Flash CS4, you need to find your way around!



Who is this course for?
This course is for users of Flash, who need to get up to speed on the changes to the interface in version CS4. This course is as relevant for a graphic designer as it is for a high-end coder -- anyone who needs to use the Flash CS4 Authoring Tool.
