Publisher's Synopsis
This work provides an introduction to the world of Flash applications, which are becoming increasingly popular as ways of presenting visually rich interfaces to useful data and services. The book supplies the knowledge, techniques, and skills needed to help you plan, develop, and build Flash-based applications that you can deploy on the Web - such as shopping carts, cinema ticket booking systems, or even messageboards/blogs.;The book uses step by step exercises and a running case study to build the skills that can be applied to any Flash application created. The emphasis in this book is on the generic skills and approaches that are essential in this field, rather than on shallow walk-throughs of trivial projects.
