This course is intended for the intermediate to advanced Adobe Flash animator who wants to learn ActionScript programming to add more complex interactivity to their movies than simple navigation. How long is the Flash Training course? 2 Days What are the benefits of attending the training course? You'll learn to plan your Flash movies to make the process efficient and to allow code to be reused in multiple places. You will learn how to control visual objects and how to use and write functions, as well as how to use build-in classes to manage colour, sound and data. What are the prerequisites? Familiarity with Mac or Windows operating system and some previous experience of Adobe Flash is recommended.
