Meet the Flash

This e-book is intended for Flash beginners. To speed-up the learning every lesson is packed with a movie clip, showing some practical usage of the wordy lesson. The tutorials cover the program essentials - creating still graphics, animations, and text. Also, the book offers several scripting tutorials showing how to add simple interactivity without actually learning ActionScript language.

Are you looking for a video course? The 38 embedded clips can be played as a single full-length and full-size movie (total running time about 3 hours). The elaborated controls allow you to instantly find any fragment.

In the meantime, the book interface features many essential functions available in popular "readers" and web browsers - table of contents, history, bookmarks, and text search.

Moreover, the flash-book combines the advantages of the e-book and video formats. For example, you can use full-text search to find a particular movie episode, and then bookmark it.

This version of video-book has been composed for Adobe Flash CS3 and compiled for Windows platform. More versions available at www.meetTheFlash.com
