The course explores intermediate-level Flash and ActionScripting with a focus on web motion and interactivity.

Proposed class subjects:

• Web Mock Up
• Navigation
• Working with Media
• Transitions with Tween Class
• Dynamically loading images
• Contact Form
• Preloader
• Streaming Video
• JPEG slideshows
• Forms
• Advanced 2D character animation

Needed basic Flash concepts to be successful in this class

• You should understand what each tool does and how to create motion and shape tweens
• You should understand symbols and their differences
• You should have basic ActionScript knowledge, such as stop, play, and gotoAndStop

 

Over the next 15 weeks you will be creating a Flash web site or web app or infographic. Either you will be creating your online portfolio or you will be doing another site/app approved by the instructor. Most weeks you will implement what you learn to build another part of our site. At the end of the semester you will have a fully functional flash web site. We will work together to educate and critique each others web site functionality and design.

There are no mandatory books. I will provide many recommendation for books.
