The de facto interactive animation package, Flash, is a must-have in the arsenal of every web and mobile designer. In this VTC course, you'll discover the ins and outs of creating and managing Flash movies and interactive content. Come along for the ride as we delve into working with Flash's interface, tools, and objects. You will learn how to manage shapes, build symbols, and manage instances. Follow along with author Geoff Blake as he shows you the huge array of animation techniques, including tweened sequences, applying easing, and special effects. From there, edit your animations and publish your work in a variety of formats for the world to see, including SWF, Adobe AIR, and HTML5. All this and more awaits in Adobe Flash CS6!
