10-page Flash Guide

This is a 10-page Guide on “Exploring Macromedia Flash MX” (796kb, pdf format), from Kansas State University. It explains what Flash does, how to start using it, and introduces many important features of Flash.

Flash is a software application that is used to create and display attractive multimedia and web animations and presentations. Programmers use Flash to develop nice looking and compact navigational interfaces, technical graphics, animations, and other compelling user experiences. Illustrations and animations in Flash are made with Flash’s drawing tools, or Flash developers  can import images from their favorite vector and/or bitmap graphics software. Flash has lots of great features, and for those in academics, it is priced quite well at around $100, making it a very accessible multimedia application.
