Description:

'Intro to Flash CS3' is a bootcamp in how to exploit all the new tools and features available in Flash CS3. With the new importing workflow, the improved drawing tools, the incredibly powerful tweening options, the new Flash 9 FLV playback with full-screen mode, and even some of the changes to ActionScript 3, students will be exposed to all the reasons that Flash CS3 is such a significant improvement in the lives of Flash developers! During this two day intensive course, we will build a complete video player.

Who this course is for:

Those who want to jump in and start learning how to use all the new features in Flash CS3. Students do not need a detailed understanding of ActionScript, but should have a working knowledge of Flash 7 or 8.
