Course outline

Using animation principles in Flash

Character animation

Scripting for games

The training day will cover a number of topics at an intermediate level in Flash and delegates should have prior experience of using Flash, including animation with tweening and basic ActionScript for buttons and timeline control. Scripting will focus mainly on ActionScript 2 for maximum compatibility with different versions of Flash; however some examples of ActionScript 3 will be covered for comparison.

Delegates will receive a CD with completed copies of the day’s exercises and materials that can be used in class with their own students.
