Animation for Multimedia provides students with an introduction to the Flash authoring environment.
Flash excels as a design tool, because it includes all the pieces needed in one place to produce and deliver high-impact websites, game/software interfaces and animation for web and TV. It allows the creation of resizable, small, and compact navigation interfaces, technical illustrations, long-form animations, and many other brilliant special effects.

Other topics include pop-up menus, interactive movies, forms and variables, and timeline control.
