Flash CS4 essentially changes the rules for anyone who has used Flash before. Animations are handled completely differently from the old days, the interface has undergone a comprehensive revamp, Flash video creation has changed, and a host of other major and minor features has been added in order to make you even more ...productive. This course — a Flash CS4 Quick Start — presents a series of lessons based on the best selling Flash training book on the market, Foundation Flash CS4 for Designers (friends of ED). This course is delivered by the guys who wrote the book, Tom Green and David Stiller, and offers selected exercises from the book to get you working with Flash CS4 in no time. This is excerpted from the full course available at http://richmediainstitute.com/ondemand/flashcs4fundamentalsRead More
