Overview/Description
Flash Professional CS5 provides a range of tools that can be used to create impressive graphics and illustrations for your movies. Drawing in the Flash environment produces vector graphics – artwork made from straight or curved lines with clean edges – that allow you to scale drawings without lowering the quality of the overall illustration. You can also import and manipulate bitmap images including JPEGs and PNGs. In addition, Flash Professional CS5 provides improved integration with the other Adobe design tools, including Illustrator and Photoshop. This course introduces the learner to drawing in Flash. It demonstrates how to use the drawing tools, give 2D objects a 3D appearance, and how to import, manipulate, and optimize graphics.
