Flash Tutorials Tips and Tricks
These days you can find many Flash and ActionScript resources. My way of learning this are the flash tutorials that can be found on many sites. Before getting in the subject, let's see a short history Adobe Flash well known as Macromedia Flash is a multimedia platform that used to build video, animation and interactivity for Web sites, beeing the most common program used in making interactice web pages. Adobe Flash is beeing oftentimes utilised for advertisements and games, and more lately it has been posed as a provider for RIAs, meaning Rich Internet Applications.
Flash handles vector and raster graphics to put up still images, drawings, animation of text. It sustains 2 way directional streaming of audio and video, and it can capture user input via keyboard, mouse, camera and microphone.The best thing about Flash is: it contains an OO programming language called ActionScript (AS), with which early flash programmers had the possibility connect a elementary command, called "action", to frames and buttons. It is a dialect of ECMAScript, that means that it has the semantics and the same syntax of the more widely known JavaScript, and is used primarily for the creation of sites. In the beginings it was ab initio created to master 2D vector animations created with Adobe Flash. The early versions of Flash content were at first focused on animation providing a couple of interactivity features and thence had very moderated scripting capability.
Flash content might be seen on many devices and systems, using Adobe Flash Player, which you can download for free for standard Internet browsers, many mobile phones and a few other electronic devices.
If you want to start learning Flash , I will give you some good advices from where to start. It's better to take a look at some flash tutorials at the time - to get to know flash. Flash Component.net has a great flash tutorials section You can also search for some more advanced flash tutorials like how to create a XML driven banner rotator.
XML comes from Extensible Markup Language and it was designed to store and transport data and it is a mark-up language similar to HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). The big difference between this languages is that HTML was designed to display data. Both languages manipulate data but one is created for transport and the other for outputing the data; Extensible Markup Language was not created to replace the Hypertext Markup Language. Maybe a little sohard to catch the idea, but Extensible Markup Language doesn`t do anything, Extensible Markup Language was made to store, structure and transport information. Like the Hypertext Markup Language, XML has tags but in HTML tags are predefined, in XML you have to invent your own tags. Simply follow the flash tutorials I was talking you about and you will also be able to create a XML driven Flash component.
If you are very serious about acquiring some knowledge about Flash, you should be good in this field very fast. A good advice is to stay tuned with the latest news about AS3 by browsing the Adobe webpage . In this way, you'll be open to run across the latest developmentsin the newest forms of the language.
