Adobe Flash Training Course

 

Adobe Flash CS3 Advanced
Duration: 2 days
Adobe Flash CS3 Professional

Course Synopsis: Flash designers with some ActionScript experience will find that the Advanced Adobe Flash course provides the knowledge and hands-on practice required to build more flexible and dynamic design-based Flash pieces. This course focuses on teaching students more advanced ActionScript topics that removes their reliance on timeline-based visual tools. It also introduces them to other ActionScript code that will allow them to generate dynamic design and navigation elements that cannot be created without ActionScript.

Who Should Attend:This course is for Flash designers who have some experience
with ActionScript but want to learn more advanced topics and features to enhance their designs.
To gain the most from this class you should already have:
• Experience creating Flash designs and animation using the timeline
• Equivalent knowledge from the Adobe Flash CS3 Professional
• Equivalent knowledge from the Adobe Flash CS3 ActionScript course

Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class.

What You Will Learn:
• Object Drawing Model
• Blend Modes in Flash CS3
• Loading XML
• Advanced Flash Text and CSS
• Loading Graphics Dynamically
• Animation with ActionScript
• Advanced Styling with CSS
• Components in Flash CS3
• Attach Movie Clips Dynamically

Time: Class time is 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. Breaks are scheduled throughout the day and lunch is typically scheduled 12-1. Students provide their own lunch.

Locations: We have company-operated facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, San Diego and Washington DC. We also work with a network of rental facilities to offer our classes regularly across the United States and in Canada. Please double-check the location of your class with our office to make sure you get to the right location.
