Do you match this description?
- You have been using PowerPoint in your lessons and feel that you have
pretty well mastered it.
- You are starting to feel limited by the way that PowerPoint works
and you want to take more control over the way that objects are animated.
- You have seen flash animations and games on the internet and want
to have a go.
- You haven't really got much of a life and think that staring at a
laptop screen all weekend is fun.
I have put together four lessons, more or less in order of difficulty
to get you started.
If you are completely new to flash, I would suggest working through them
in order. If you already have some experience, have a look at the information
below and pick a lesson that suits your needs.
Alternatively, if your experience has already taken you beyond the material
here, why not write lesson 5!
