(This was a project in process, from the exercise files with the Lynda.com training)
Ok, so now that I have moved beyond "basic shapes, drawings, and colorings" I am finding the shortcuts more difficult to remember. Flash truly has a tool for EVERYTHING! You can change gradient patterns, color match objects,or really do anything one's little heart desires! I know that I will not be an expert within the three days of watching some of these videos, but I still feel like I have gained more of an insight on how Flash works. (To be honest with you, I truly thought Flash had to do with the camera Flash and to add effects to various photos and artwork. Boy was I wrong, Flash does so much more!)
I also found a great free resource called HeyFlash.com. You can find several videos online from this source.
Flash is such a fun tool. I think students and teachers who were exposed and able to interact with this program could really enhance lessons. Things of the wealth of knowledge that some of the students could convey through the use of a flash movie, drawing, etc. I encourage everyone to check out Flash and spend some time getting to know this amazing program. It sounds like in month six of our program, we will be working quite a bit in Flash.
I am by no means an expert in this program now, but I do have more of an idea on how to navigate the screen and to do a thing or two! :)
