Macromedia Flash Beginners Guide

By Just Poison

A percentage of you would have used, herd about, or seen Macromedia Flash being used at one stage. The guide which i made is very simple, and sum what unfinished because i was out of time for the deadline. The guide talks about animation, user tools, menus and properties. The guide also covers saving, opening, importing and publishing.

Please take your time to have a look at the small 23 pages of guide a made this year. Its only of beginner quality so it wont be suitable for flash experts.

Here are screen shots of what the guide/tut contains;

This guide was originally made for the teachers at my high school, however i took the time to screen shot each page of the guide and upload them for a quick preview.

There will be two links from different sites (rapid share and Mega upload) down below for the actual document, which has more content, and extra information. One in .txt format , and the other in .ODT (open office)

This one is simple

there isn't any guide of movement in it

only interpolations

Well btw nice guide. I've make one animation that I'm working

Don't know if I can post the link but I will post it: http://bf2flahexamen.site.voila.fr ( don't open it with firefox gonna be to much small :S ) There's nothing to download. The swf will open automaticaly when you reach the page.

I didn't finished it yet have to put song in it ... and much more

thanks for the comment, yeah its only the basics. Just imagine how long it would take me to discuss Buttons, making gifs and in depth animation.

Simple guide just to learn the basics of flash itself.

hehe yeah. Well I'm learning it atm. But all the guide I have are in French :S. Could also ask my teacher to give me his guide to scan it but it's also in french ...

In the guide you'r learning all you have and doing a guide of mouvement, doing a transition of background, taking a box and transforming it into a star ... things like that but much more

To find .gif there's animationfactory.com that is good but you need to pay

and to work on your gif there's gifworks.com ( don't know if I'm right for this one )

yeah i can make giffs and buttons also but this guide focuses on how to use flash at a beginner level, so its like learning how to walk. not how to run

I might use this Tutorial for some of my friends who don't know much about Flash player because its basic, descriptive and I'm a lazy bum.:laugh:
