Introduction to Adobe Flash

Introduction
• Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia
Flash) is a multimedia platform used
to add animation, video, and
interactivity to web pages. Flash is
frequently used for advertisements
and games.
• Flash manipulates vector and raster
graphics to provide animation of
text, drawings, and still images. It
supports bidirectional streaming of
audio and video, and it can capture
user input via mouse, keyboard,
microphone, and camera. Flash
contains an Object-oriented
language called ActionScript.
CREATE A NEW FLASH DOCUMENT
When you first start flash, you will be presented with
a window to open a Flash document, create a new
Flash document, or start from a template. Click on
Flash File (ActionScript 2.0) to create a new blank
Flash document.

the Windows menu.

FLASH SYMBOLS
Objects in Flash are called symbols and a symbol can be a graphic, a
movie, or a button. Symbols can contain other symbols.

Graphic Icon
Button Icon
Movie Icon

WHY USE SYMBOLS


Once a symbol is created, it gets stored in the Library and then can be
reused multiple times in the Flash document, without significantly
increasing the Flash document size. Another advantage is that
modifications to the symbol will affect all instances of that symbol on the
Flash stage, which saves time.
SAVE AND SAVE OFTEN
• Before proceeding, save your
document and save often thereafter.
