Basics of Flash 5

From this article we are going to start new Flash 5 Tutorial Series. Let’s begin with basics of Flash Interface & Toolbar.

Introduction to Flash 5
Flash 5  is software that helps us to create animations with a high level of Interactivity and with low file size. It also includes greatly expanded capabilities for creating extra-ordinary animations with actions packed scripts.

The main reason why Flash becomes so popular is that, it uses Vector Graphics technology. Due to this technology, it won't get pixilated even when the picture is zoomed to highest level.

Using the tool, the starting and the end point can be determined for a shape.

While using the tool on a shape, you can see some anchor points appearing on the edges. By clicking the node, we can get Bezier points.

Adjustment or alterations on the shape can be made by moving the bezier point.
