Roundtrip editing between Flash Catalyst and other Adobe products is a time saver.

Creating tweens and easing is somewhat a complicated task in Flash but Flash Catalyst CS5 does all the work for us.

How to create a Flash animation that starts with a solid colored stage and gradually reveals the background underneath.

How to sequence two animations together in Flash CS5.

Now that we have the Flash CS3 particle system snowfall animation working exactly like we want, it´s time to optimize the program code.

One of my favorite things to do in Flash is to draw onto the Stage. But I am not talking about drawing with the Flash drawing tools such as the Rectangle or Oval tool. In this tutorial, we will learn the basics for drawing with ActionScript 3 and the Drawing API.

In this tutorial, we will take a look at the rest of the transitions in the fl.transitions package for Flash CS3. We will examine class parameters needed for these transition effects. Each of these transitions has its own class parameters that you can use to refine the effect.

Many fancy Flash intros use the slide-in special effect. This effect requires that the image or object have a starting position off of the stage and move onto the stage with a Motion Tween. In this tutorial, we will do just that.

We have finished the modular particle system code that you can use as a starting point to build any Flash project that needs a particle system.

Once you start writing your own ActionScript code, you can move up to creating more complex animation, dynamic interaction and server-side programming. This book by Russel Chun will give you the foundation you need to master advance Flash design and development.
