Introduction
I use materials I developed in this wiki for my Fall I 2007 Webanimation course (COAP 2110) at Webster University, Geneva.
This page does not replace the official syllabus file, but it allows students to navigate more efficiently through the materials
- Alternatively, start from the Flash article
- Course level learning outcomes (roughly)
- Know the organization and tools of the Macromedia CS3 Flash Desktop
- Create simple drawings
- Frame-by-frame animations
- Creating and using layers
- Using motion and shape tweening to create animations
- Reusable Flash: symbols, instances and templates
- Incorporating non-Flash media files (graphics, sound and video)
- Create animated Splash pages in Flash
- Simple interactivity in Flash, e.g. image maps and menus
- Teaching materials
- This wiki (see the program below)
- Veer, E.A. Vander and Chris Grover (2007). Flash CS3: The Missing Manual. ISBN 0596510446 - 527 pages.
- O'Reilly page for the book
- Missing CD-ROM, materials used in the book.
- Flash Tutorials on the Internet
- See the Flash article for some good links
