This course is perfect for anyone who's looking to add more "flash" to Flash projects. In Flash CS4 Professional: Object-Oriented Programming, Todd Perkins shares tools and techniques to help create a more streamlined workflow through reusable code components. He explains how encapsulation and inheritance can produce creative work with maximum efficiency, and shows how to use proper manipulation of classes to build a complete and complex slide show. Todd's examples demonstrate the power of this coding technique. Exercise files accompany the course.
This course provides a solid foundation in Adobe Flash Professional CS6 and shows how to create an assortment of Flash content. Author Anastasia McCune explains the different destinations for Flash projects—mobile devices, the desktop, or the web—and where ActionScript fits into it all. She shows how to create a new project, structure document layers and arrange objects on the Timeline, and how to get started drawing basic shapes and incorporate text, images, audio, and video. The course also explains the different types of symbols and tweens in Flash, and how to use them to build and animate content. The final chapters outline the publishing options available for Flash projects, including Adobe AIR.
Discover the new features Flash Professional CS6 offers animators and application developers. Author Anastasia McCune walks through each of the software's key enhancements, including the generation of sprite sheets, which can accommodate multiple symbols or bitmaps; a new extension allowing Flash animations to be exported to HTML5; and the captive run time, which allows developers to bundle the AIR framework into an AIR application, creating a self-contained entity which eliminates the third-party dependency.
In Flex 3 Beyond the Basics, David Gassner delves into advanced Flex development skills, including custom popup windows and programmatic animation; parsing XML with E4X; and integrating Flex applications with ColdFusion, ASP.NET, and PHP. He explores effective ways to use Flash and Flex together, including the exchange of graphical skins, symbols, and components. David also demonstrates how to localize a Flex application. This course is a follow-up to Flex 3 Essential Training, and some experience with ActionScript 3, Flex Builder, and the Flex 3 Framework is recommended. Example files accompany the course.
Application developers who want to create cross-platform, data-centric applications need the power of Flex 3. In Flex 3 Essential Training, Adobe Certified Instructor David Gassner starts with the basics of understanding Flex, its projects, and its related programming languages. He explores the intricacies of the development platform and the Flex Builder 3 integrated development environment, then gives in-depth, hands-on tutorials on creating, designing, customizing, and publishing dynamic web and desktop applications in Flex 3. Exercise files accompany the course.
This course teaches developers how to integrate Flex applications with PHP-based data services. Author Drew Falkman demonstrates retrieving XML data from a PHP server with HTTPService, connecting PHP classes to Flex using the amfPHP, WebOrb and ZendAMF adapters, and using the PHP data wizards in Flash Builder to save development time. The course also previews the Zend Studio IDE bundled with Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP and covers advanced topics such as setting up Flex mobile projects and changing servers at run time.
This course provides the core knowledge to begin programming in any language. Simon Allardice uses JavaScript to explore the core syntax of a programming language, and shows how to write and execute your first application and understand what's going on under the hood. The course covers creating small programs to explore conditions, loops, variables, and expressions; working with different kinds of data and seeing how they affect memory; writing modular code; and how to debug, all using different approaches to constructing software applications. Finally, the course compares how code is written in several different languages, the libraries and frameworks that have grown around them, and the reasons to choose each one.
