If you want to be more creative than ever in Flash 8, then you need to know ActionScript. The best way to learn ActionScript is to learn it by watching the presentations and doing the lessons in this DVD. These videos will help increase your potential in every area of website design, interactive games, user interfaces, text, and video. If you learn these tips and tricks quickly, then you can prepare a far better portfolio for yourself.

So what types of lessons are included in this DVD set? It begins by teaching you the basics of scripting such as syntax and structure, text and form handling, working with external data, and animating. If you learn these basics you'll be catapulted into the next set of lessons where you'll learn how to make Flash websites and their structures, building a basic game followed by more game structures, then how to control video with ActionScript, and ultimately putting it all together. You'll also learn how to loop movie clips, play sounds, and create menu buttons.

This is a learn by doing environment and what better way to increase your potent ional than to watch John Ulliman, an authorized instructor and principal of his own project development company, teach these incredible lessons. John tackles all the issues that confront Flash users by showing us how to focus on productivity, learn animation skills, and create advanced navigation techniques.

This Total Training series is a must for serious Flash creators as it enables the user to advance into a world of creativity otherwise not available to the ordinary Flash user. I recommend this DVD series. I am not a programmer but I wanted to learn how to write ActionScript so that I could create those extraordinary websites I see every so often on the web. I have learned a tremendous amount about ActionScripting and intend to review what I have learned by watching the lessons again.
