Produktbeschreibung

As a Flash Developer, you're no doubt excited by the great new features available in the next version of Flash X, to be released later in the year. It promises to include several impressive new design and scripting features.

However, a lot of the features will be the same, so you will want a book that gets you right up to speed asap with the exciting new features of the new version.

In this book, some of Flash's most prominent community figures do just that, starting you off with an overview of Flash X and what's new. They then address all of the new features. The book concludes with a gallery of examples to further demonstrate some of the exciting new features of Flash X.

Autorenporträt

After studying theatre in London, then working for several years as an actor in the U.S.,¿Todd Yard¿was introduced to Flash in 2000 and was quickly taken by how it allowed for both stunning creativity and programmatic logic application¿a truly left-brain, right brain approach to production¿and has not looked back. He now freelances as a Flash developer in New York City, creating both silly animations and utilitarian applications. His personal work and experimentation can be found at his website, 27Bobs.com.
