Video description
This innovative product is a focused video workshop and
accompanying 48-page full-color book that will teach Flash
developers how to get up to speed on the new features of Adobe
Flash CS5.5 and ActionScript 3.0. Take advantage of new features
including improvements to Flash’s powerful TLF type engine,
improved layout fidelity, and enhancements to the already powerful
inverse kinematics bone tool, as well as updates to ActionScript.
Tips and tricks for all versions of Flash are sprinkled throughout.
Experienced instructor Kelly McCathran presents three hours of
exceptional quality video tutorials, complete with lesson files,
assessment quizzes, and review materials. The video is wrapped in a
unique interface that allows the viewer to jump to any topic and
also bookmark individual sections for later review. The unique
Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window to allow
the student to work alongside in Flash and ActionScript. Project
files used in the lessons are included on the disc so viewers can
practice what they've learned, and interactive review questions
help reinforce freshly gained knowledge.
