Course Outline
Duration:
1 Day
Description: Building
on the skills and concepts taught in the Basic course, this Advanced ILT Series
course presents techniques for creating more complex Flash applications.
Students will create and edit vector paths and mask layers. Students will also
learn how to use advanced animation techniques, such as inverse kinematics,
shape and motion tweens, and animated masks and filters. Students will then
work with movie clips, use ActionScript 3.0 code to
better control their Flash applications, and incorporate audio and video.
Finally, students will learn some basic principles of project management,
discuss issues related to image use and copyrights, and learn how to plan a
Flash application.
