Macromedia Flash is an application you can use to create 2 dimension (2D) animations and multimedia presentations, mainly for websites and web applications. Flash has tools that you use to draw basic objects which are then used to make scenes, and these, in turn, can be used to make a movie.

Here are two Flash Tutorials to get you started using Flash to create animations and presentations: Introduction to Macromedia Flash MX 2004 and Introduction to Macromedia Flash MX.

These Flash tutorials show you how to do the following tasks in Flash:

    * Drawing Artwork
    * Using Keyframes
    * Animating an object using motion tweening


The image below depicts aspects of the Flash environment that you will need to become familiar with.
 
The Flash Environment

Stage - This is where the animation occurs and what the user sees. You create objects and then animate them so that they enter, exit or remain on the stage.

Work area - This is the behind the scenes area, where you can create objects and get them ready to present and animate on the stage.

Toolbox - The toolbox provides you with the tools with which you can draw and update objects and change text.

Layers - Layers operate like transparencies, permitting you to have many objects doing things simultaneously. You see objects on different layers only when they do not take up the same space.

Timeline - This is how you control the order of events and the timing of events in your Flash animation. The timeline is made up of frames and one frame shows the objects on the stage at that one point in time.

Panels - the panels are used to update the elements of your movie. For example, you can change the color or transparency of an object.
