chapter 1 The Not-So-Boring Animation IntroHere I’ll spend just a little bit of time getting you up to speed on what an animation is, how it works, and what components comprise a good animation. I promise I’ll keep things short and sweet so you can get down to the business of learning Flash in the next chapter. chapter 2 Taking the Tour This chapter explores Flash’s user interface, user interface being a technical term that some computer geek came up with to describe what you see on your screen when you run a program. At first glance, the Flash user interface can seem a little intimidating. chapter 3 Your First Animation - In this chapter, I’m going to push you off the pool deck and let you flail a bit to create your first Flash animation. chapter 4 Drawing, Selecting, and Importing Objects - This chapter explores both options. It starts by covering the tools that allow you to create and select your objects, and then it talks about how you can import images and objects that you’ve either downloaded or received from other people. chapter 5 Transforming and Filling Objects - This chapter explores several dozen methods for adjusting the look of your objects. From coloring to rotating to skewing to squishing, I’ll focus on the techniques you need to know to perfect your images. chapter 6 Working with Layers - chapter 7 Animation 101 This chapter dives into the heart and soul of Flash—which is, of course, animation. chapter 8 Putting Your Body in Motion - You’ll start by creating a very simple “stick man” character made of little lines and a couple of shapes, as well as a background. Then, you’ll animate the figure by moving his joints and moving the background behind him. chapter 9 Tunes for Your ‘Toons - This chapter explores not only how to apply sounds to your animations, but also how to record and apply dialogue. chapter 10 Cool Flash Effects - This chapter is designed to give you a jump start on creating your own unique effects by showing you how to create some of the more popular cool and unusual Flash effects. chapter 11 Help If You Need It - This chapter will show you where to get help with and how to learn more about Flash.
