    Flash MX 2004 Tutorial

    Here is a Flash MX 2004 Tutorial that takes you step-by-step, with screen shots, through the process of learning and using Flash to create and publish animations. It teaches you these Flash topics: basic drawing tools and the drawing environment; animation control using the timeline; frame-by-frame, shape tween, and motion tween animations; simple animation control using ActionScript; importing graphics into Flash; and publishing Flash animations in various formats. (319kb, 27 pages, pdf format)


    Flash Tutorial Contents:
     - Introduction
     - Definitions
     - Using Flash
     - Basic Tools
     - Vector Graphics
     - Stage Elements and Properties
     - Layers

    Here are the Flash Definitions from this document:
    ActionScript - Adds interactivity and/or playback efficiency to a movie via coding. Similar to JavaScript, ActionScript is an object-oriented programming language.
    Alpha effect – Adjusts the transparency of an instance.
    Bitmaps - Images using colored dots, called pixels, arranged within a grid. Typical of most web graphics.
    Breaking apart - Converts symbols into basic shapes so that shape tweening can be used.
    Button symbol – Used to create interactive buttons in a movie that respond to mouse clicks or other actions.
    Component - A pre-made movie clip that provides some functionality, such as a button, a scroll pane, or a progress bar. Components allow you to create animations with complex functionality, but with a minimum of effort.
    Easing option – By default, the rate of change between tweened frames is constant. Easing creates a more natural appearance of transformation by gradually adjusting the rate of change.
    Frame-by-Frame animation - An animation technique that involves subsequently creating a slightly altered image in sequence and then playing back the entire sequence.
    Graphic symbol – Used for static images and to create reusable pieces of animation that are tied to the Timeline of the main movie.
    Keyframe - A frame in which a change in an animation is defined. Keyframes are an important part of tweened animation.
    Layer - Helps organize symbols and other separate animation entities by allowing you to draw and edit objects on one layer without affecting objects on another layer.
    Library – Stores symbols, such as graphic symbols and button symbols, and allows you to view and organize these files as you work. Helps in selecting and copying instances of symbols on the main stage.
    Motion guide – Lets you draw paths along which tweened instances, groups, or text blocks can be animated from one keyframe to another.
    Motion tweening – To tween the changes in properties of instances, groups, and type, you use motion tweening. Flash can tween position, size, rotation, and skew of instances, groups, and type. Additionally, Flash can tween the color of instances and type, creating gradual color shifts or making an instance fade in or out.
    Shape tweening – In shape tweening, you draw a shape at one point in time, and then you change that shape or draw another shape at another point in time. Flash interpolates the values or shapes for the frames in between, creating the “morphing” animation. Symbols must be broken apart before using shape tweening.
    Symbol - A reusable graphical object that is stored in a Library. You can then create multiple instances of the symbol. There are three symbol types: graphic, button, and movie clip.
    Timeline - Organizes and controls a movie’s content over time in layers and frames. The major components of the Timeline are layers, frames, and the playhead.
    Vector graphic – Describes images using lines and curves, called vectors, which also include color and position properties. You can move, resize, reshape, and change the color of a vector graphic without changing the quality of its appearance.

    Accessible Web Design Guide

    What is Web Accessibility? A web page is accessible if all users are able to access the document and read the content. Users should be able to access it without needing to change their browser, or adjust the browser settings. A well-designed site will work in any browser with any reasonable settings. Many accessibility improvements also make it easier for everyone to use the site. For example, improving the navigation structure of a web site helps everyone, but also especially helps people with poor memory. There are also pure usability problems such as broken links, which affect everyone equally.

    Here is an Accessible Web Design Guide, from Durham University, that will help you design and make your web sites accessible to all users, regardless of disability or choice of browser. This Guide explains the benefits of accessible design, and techniques for writing accessible websites. (22 pages, 174kb, pdf)
