Using Flash

Monday, 20 July 2009 10:30 max

For the first half of this term we will be learning about Flash.

Flash is an industry standard Vector graphics, animation and interactive application creation program. People in the real world make a living by being Flash experts. All the web games played by students have probably been created using this application.

Unfortunately it is not a free application so students cannot download it and use it at home.

We will start of with looking at Vector vs Raster images and then create some Vector images using Flash.
