Introduction to Flash MX

Class Lecture by Paul Crawley

Aswell as learning how Dreamweaver works we also had an introduction to Flash. The difference between the two website design programmes varies slightly. Flash gives you the opportunity to create and use animation and action script (SWF files embedded in web pages). The other major advantage of using Flash is that when using type within your web pages it instantly embeds it and doesn't restrict you to a certain typeface (where Dreamweaver does and only has a standard set of typefaces to choose from), you can use any one you like and anyone who views the web page, even from all around the world can see it.
We were given a quick introduction into how to create basic layout, how to change our colour schemes and creating simple navigation "buttons" to move from one page to the next.
