Freash Flash: New Design Ideas with Flash MX
So you think you've got to grips
with the new features of Macromedia Flash MX?
Welcome to this inspirations upgrade from friends of ED.
Upgrade your thinking, upgrade your attitude, and upgrade your
standards to take on board the host of exciting features
incorporated into the latest version of Flash.
With this title we run the gamut of new features, from the
Drawing API ("to die for"), through new Video compression,
Scriptable Masks and Components. We explore the new territory with
Experimental Interfaces, check out the improvements in the 3D arena,
and quarry the backend technologies to see what gems we can turn up!
Some of the best designers in the Web community have concentrated
their efforts on this project. This has resulted in the highest
caliber of work, including an exclusive insight into the creation of
Jim Armstrong's New York Flash Film Festival Final piece.
From the acclaimed team that brought you Flash
Math Creativity comes this inspiring volume, full of brand
new effects and discussion on what Flash MX is going to do for
designers -- and where we go from here.
