Flash CS4 Professional: Object-Oriented Programming

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.
