Creating Flash Movies
Although it is beyond the scope of this book to teach the myriad information about Flash authoring, this section will give you a high-level overview of creating Flash movies, by reviewing file formats, interface basics, optimization, server configuration, action scripting, and adding Flash movies to a web page. Full-featured Flash movies are best created using Macromedia’s Flash software, but I will also show you several third-party software products that allow you to create specific types of .swf files and still use the Flash player. For a more hands-on look at creating movies, I recommend using the tutorials that come with the software as well as support documents provided by Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/). For an incredibly thorough book of tutorials and reference material, check out Flash 8 Bible by Robert Reinhardt and Snow Dowd (Visual).
