And with the latest version, this popular ì program becomes more versatile, letting beginning webmasters and ì expert developers alike create sophisticated web content. But ì Flash isn't intuitive.

This ì hands-on guide to today's hottest web design tool is aimed at ì nondevelopers, and it teaches you how to translate your ideas ì into great web content. It begins with a solid primer on ì animation, which helps you get comfortable with the Flash ì interface. Once you have these basics under your belt, Flash ì 8: The Missing Manual moves on to advanced animations, ì including adding special effects and audio, video, and ì interactivity to your presentations. When you're really feeling ì steady, the book shows how to use a dollop of ActionScript to ì customize your content. It then teaches you how to publish your ì Flash creations for web surfers everywhere to enjoy. Along the ì way, the book shows you good design principles and helps you ì avoid elements that can distract or annoy an audience. Author ì Emily Vander Veer has more than a dozen books to her credit, ì including titles on web design and scripting-most written for ì non-technical readers. Her background makes her the perfect ì author for a straightforward book on a complex subject.

Not only will Flash 8: The Missing Manual help you turn ì a concept into unique, dynamic content, but it will continue to ì serve as a reference as you develop your website.
