Use Flash to improve the visual impact and dynamic scope of websites. You will learn how to plan and build a Flash-based project and address issues that arise due to poor preparation. You will continue to explore animation and ActionScript techniques through storyboarding and effective prototyping. You will participate in the assembly of a Flash site that will involve elements including loading external content, sound synchronization with animation, scripted movement and much more. Usability and design will also be an important component of this study.

Course Reviews
Adam Thomas
My career in New Media has been split pretty evely between instructing and development. I teach part time at Humber College with the School of Media Studies and the Digital Imaging Training Centre. And I am a co-owner of a small web development firm called Robin Hood Tech Inc.
I have also recently been involved in a few Flash book for Friends of Ed. I tech edited Foundation Flash CS3 for Designers and co-authored Flash CS3 Video.
These courses are meant to work with in class instruction at Humber College but can also be taken as simply onlne courses.
