Macromedia Flash MX Accelerated Learning Workbook is for designers and developers who want a concept-based approach to learning production techniques for Macromedia Flash MX. Unlike many Flash books on the market today, this book is a complete exploration of Flash production, from basic illustration all the way to movie-clip architecture and ActionScript programming. Designed to be much more than a task-based exploration of the Flash program or a quick "tips and tricks" handbook, Macromedia Flash MX Accelerated Learning Workbook is based on a three-part curriculum that emphasizes the concepts behind using Flash, accompanied by real-world projects readers can use to produce a working portfolio of Flash-based projects. By focusing on the concepts behind Flash production, readers learn the "why" behind what they're doing in Flash, so that they can get up and running with Flash on their own more quickly
