Flash Tutorials — Basics

Welcome to Part 2 of my Beginner’s Guide to Augmented Reality, I hope you finished off the first part of this tutorial, or at least downloaded and read the source files (otherwise you may get a bit confused with what’s going on).

Augmented Reality has been cropping up a lot lately, especially Flash-based AR. I will guide you through how to create some simple yet neat effects that you can put on your own website.

This tutorial demonstrates how we can use Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects together to build a single project.

Using the Flash drawing tools we’ll create a nice looking Radio Button that will make use of the Timeline and Mouse Events in ActionScript 3 to perform a user declared action.

This huge tutorial will help you learn a number of useful programming techniques, all tied together with a deceptively simple (and very flexible) end result. Grab a cup of coffee and let’s jump into part one..

Part 1 of a new series called 'So you wanna learn Flash?'. In this tutorial, we will go over the stage and how to change it's size and color.

During this tut we’ll focus on making just such a menu; as customizable as possible, without using any classes, just component parameters.

This article aims to puts an end to the debate about creating search engine friendly Flash sites. I will discuss some fundamental tips and guidelines, giving you the opportunity to create attractive and interactive Flash sites which can be indexed by search engines.

In this tutorial we’ll create a SWF that preloads itself, meaning that the preloader and the content is in the same file. We’ll go over how to do things the right way and avoid the traps.

I’m going to show you how to pull a key in After Effects CS4, how to create an alpha channel video in the Adobe Media encoder, how to use that video in Flash and then we’ll wind up the lesson looking at ways to creatively use alpha channel video in Flash.
