Overview
This session covers a variety of practical uses for Flash 8’s “Expressive Features” that would otherwise appear in gratuitous special effects and eye candy. Learn how to use the BitmapData class, for example, to take a snapshot of a portion of the screen in order to perform a crossfade with a single MovieClip. Additionally, this session also covers filters, transformations, and simple geometry classes in an approachable manner-not a geeky rundown of technical details but exactly how these tools make your typical Flash projects easier to produce.
