My Intro to Flash

Flash is an extremely powerful program that can create movies, games, banners, etc, although the learning curve is long, but easy to use for both programmers and artists. I'm a graphics designer, I have no experience in programming, and I can't draw, but still, it's fun putting your thoughts into a finished piece for others to view.

"Let the keyboard&mouse do the thinking."

Flash uses "actionscript", and vector graphics, you can also import image files, and music files, and combine your imagination together. So if you're a beginner like I was, start with the basics and work your way up.

There are tons of tutorials on the web, take a look at the links on the left, there are many more tutorials on other sites, and best of all, it's
FREE!!!

Flash came out with many versions over the years, it became easier and easier to use, but of course, more scripting to learn, the most recent one is Flash CS3, I'm
using the previous versions Flash MX and Flash8.
