Adobe Flash Platform From Start to Finish: Working Collaboratively Using Adobe Creative Suite 5
by Aaron Pedersen, James Polanco, Doug Winnie
Overview
Create and execute cutting-edge projects using the Adobe Flash
Platform!
This book explores a Flash Platform project’s life cycle,
diving deep into each phase — planning, design, development,
build and release, and continued maintenance.
This comprehensive guide is for your entire team to refer to during
the development process, including business executives, project
managers, creative directors, designers, developers, and quality
assurance and build engineers, explaining how each role contributes
to the overall process. The book also highlights the Adobe
applications — Flash Catalyst CS5, Flash Builder 4, Flash
Professional CS5 and other Adobe Creative Suite 5 programs —
so you can leverage the latest technology to accomplish the task at
hand.
Whether you’re a one-person shop or a large multi-department
team, this guide details the process and scales to the key
requirements of your project.
