Where to start and what is involved in becoming certified for Adobe Flash.

It's amazing how easy it is to seamlessly embed video into Flash, compared to what could be done just a few years ago.

The Bone tool in Flash CS4 can be used to connect several movie clips together in movement.

As most things on the Disney website, Tinker Bell and her friends at Pixie Hollow are Flash based web applications.

Grouping movie clips and shapes together is one way to simplify your animation in Flash CS4.

For our Flash intro animation, we will be flipping the envelope flap upward to open the envelope and reveal our thumbnail image of the ecard.

Now that we have flipped our envelope to reveal the back side, we will get ready to open the top flap to reveal the card inside.

This book by Todd Perkins will teach you what to do to get your Flash website noticed and indexed by search engines.

Flipping the envelope. This looks like a difficult animation but in reality it is very simple. We will use two movie clips to make it appear that the envelope has flipped over.

We will continue to work on the envelope intro for our ecard in Flash CS4. Our next step is to setup the stage and the elements that we will animate to make it appear that the envelope flips over on to its back in anticipation for opening.
