Major topics (roughly)
  1. Know the organization and tools of the Macromedia CS6 Flash Desktop
  2. Create simple drawings
  3. Manipulation of graphics (e.g. envelope transforms, color gradients)
  4. Creating and using layers
  5. Use of embedded movie clips
  6. Frame-by-frame, motion and shape animations
  7. Making use of non-Flash media files (graphics, sound and video)
  8. Interactivity in Flash, e.g. use of buttons, button components and some action script
