  Creating Symbols & Importing Graphics (11:15–12:15)

• Creating Animations (1:15–2:30)
  

  Using your foundation of knowledge, you’ll dive into Flash’s ample ‘cool’ factor where you’ll build animations that include motion and shape tweens.  Want “out of the box” animation?  Learn how to use Motion Presets to get your graphics moving in no time at all.

  Introduction to Interactivity (2:45–3:45)
  

  In this session we’ll “open the hood” of Flash and really get graphics to do what we want them to do with interactivity.  Whether it’s controlling an animation or jumping to another web site you’ll learn the fundamentals of programming in ActionScript 3, without scaring the living daylights of you!

  Bringing InDesign and Illustrator Files to Life

• In this final session you’ll go beyond Flash by using other programs such as InDesign and Illustrator to create Flash content.  You’ll learn how to take a file created for print and bring it right into Flash with full creative control.  Do you have content made in Illustrator as well?  Bringing graphics in from Illustrator is as simple as a copy and paste.  Leveraging all your skills you’ve learned in Flash you’re sure to make your already created designs interactive and animated!
