Course Description

Flash is a remarkably expressive environment, and with each new version, the design powers of Flash improve. And with Flash CS4, Adobe has continued to provide new tools and features to improve the design power of the Flash authoring tool. But, because Flash is Flash, there are some unique bits of information on how Flash works with this type of content -- such as, 'what's a raw shape as opposed to a shape primitive?'. This course covers the core aspects of working with images, shapes and color -- the fundamental tasks of any designer -- inside of Flash CS4, in under an hour!



Who is this course for?
This course is designed for new or novice users of Flash, who need to learn the basics of working with the drawing tools and images inside of Flash. This content is aimed at anyone who needs to learn how to generate content on the stage in Flash with the drawing tools.
