Using XML in Flash CS3/AS3

Zack J. — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:50:15 +0000

Kirupa knows his stuff. That’s why we are confident when say, read this tutorial; you won’t regret it. He gives a brief overview of XML (which you’ll probably need for your next job interview), and then he goes into details about what it is and why you should care. As a bonus, he’ll also show you how to get it into your Flash apps.

When it comes to the basic basics, you can trust Adobe. This information can also be found in your help files, but we’ve included a link to Adobe’s LiveDocs version for the sake of having something to link to. You can read it all if you want, or just the articles highlighted here.

Using the Workspace

In this video, Chris Georgenes takes us through the new Flash CS3 workspace. This is the same information as you might find in the LiveDocs, but some people may find it easier to see what’s going on instead of just imagining it. He also brushes on Symbol creation and navigation, which you will see more of in later tutorials.

Using the Drawing Tools

Zack J. — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 21:54:06 +0000

Gather near and hearken to the wisdom of Greg Rewis as he illustrates (ha!) the somewhat nonstandard Flash vector drawing tools. Even if you’ve used older version of Flash, Greg might have a thing or two to show you (Object Drawing mode, for example- ever heard of that? We didn’t think so). The section on Primitives is a goldmine.

If you have any interest at all in creating art in Flash (and you probably do), this is the article to read. Whereas the video we link to in the next step is nice and colorful and easy to watch, this will tell you all the details on each tool. We recommend bookmarking it- you know, just in case.

For the overachievers, here’s Greg Rewis again on the Pen tool. If you are intimate with Illustrator, there’s nothing new here. But if you’re not, the Pen tool is a valuable weapon in your arsenal, so to speak.

Now that you’re comfortable with the authoring environment and the drawing tools, it’s time to take a look at Flash’s moneymaker: animation. In this video tutorial, Chris Georgenes acquaints us with the elements involved in making a Flash animation.
