We are ready to code the ActionScript to run the animation. First, we will add an Event Listener to listen for a mouse click. When a mouse click occurs, a function will run that will create the Tween.

Now that we have finished this series, You have a modular particle system code that you can use as a starting point to build any Flash project.

To give our snowflake scene more realism, we will need each snowflake to be slightly different. In this tutorial, we will change some of the Color Styles properties for each of our snowflakes. The Color Styles properties that we will be changing are Brightness, Tint, Alpha and Advanced.

In this tutorial, we will begin to explore the many ways to include ActionScript in your Flash project. I´m not talking about the many things that you can make happen with ActionScript but about how you can add ActionScript code to your Flash movie. The question is where to put the ActionScript.

What can you create with Flash? Anyone from the beginner to professional can get great results with Flash.

This tutorial will end this series. You have a modular particle system code that you can use as a starting point to build any Flash project that needs a particle system.

Many of the great Flash special effects are created with a simple masking technique. One example of this technique that is commonly seen is the spotlight effect. In this tutorial, we will create this effect.

In this tutorial, we will build the design that we planned out in the previous tutorial onto the layers of the Flash Timeline. Then, we will work on the first of the animations for the advertising blinkie.

In this tutorial, we will create two types of animation. One is a simple frame-based animation and the other uses the Transform Timeline Effect to morph text.

There are two types of Flash movie files. Learn the difference between them and how to use both.
