Flash CS3: Advanced Design
Advanced
Adobe Flash CS3: Advanced Design provides Flash designers with some prior ActionScript experience the knowledge and hands-on practice they need to build more flexible and dynamic design-based Flash content. This course focuses on teaching students more advanced ActionScript topics that will remove a reliance on Timeline-based visual tools.

Students will learn to generate dynamic design and navigation elements created in ActionScript.



This workshop has been updated to use Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3. This workshop is a 3-day workshop.
