Foundation ActionScript Animation: Making Things Move! $2 Sure you can animate using motion tweens, in fact we’ll help you do that with our Flash Cartoon Animation book, but isn’t there something extra special in making things move with just a few lines of code? In this book Keith Peters guides us through some basic animation theory and then demystifies the math and physics behind creating realistic animation, looking at trigonometry, velocity and acceleration, and bouncing & friction. This book will teach you how to use Flash ActionScript to move the objects in your movies, rather than letting Flashs tween engine do it for you. The benefit of this is smaller, more realistic, more dynamic interactive movies that seem to come alive on your screen. Almost all of the code featured in this book will work fine in either Flash MX 2004 or Flash 8, and with a few minor adjustments, most of it can even be applied to Flash MX. Although the text covers many advanced math and physics concepts, making for very realistic motion, theres no need to worry, even if youre a relative newcomer to programming and the last math class you took was in high school (and even if you barely remember that!). This book first covers everything you need to know to get started: the principles of animation, and the basics of ActionScript, trigonometry, and Flash rendering methods. Youll work your way slowly from using code to move a single object across the screen to creating complex systems that really push Flashs capabilities with topics covered including collision detection, particle attraction, and kinematics. The book concludes with looking at 3D animation techniques, including building a basic 3D engine, 3D lines, fills and solids, and matrix math. Once you come to grips with the ideas presented here, youll find yourself creating all manner of exciting animations and games!

Macromedia Flash MX Creative Web Animation and Interactivity $1.51 Flash MX can be an intimidating program for the beginner. Multiple windows, an array of tool palettes, and remarkable depth make it a rich and powerful tool, but with a steep learning curve. Derek Franklin, however, in this updated version of his popular Flash MX Creative Web Animation and Interactivity, has managed to make Flash not only accessible, but relatively painless to learn.Written for the serious developer new to Flash, this 900-page volume serves as both an introductory course and a handy reference volume for going much deeper. Parts 1 and 2 focus on learning the language of Flash: the interface, menus, and working paradigm. Part 3 begins the production process and mastering of all the features that Flash has to offer. Going beyond Flash’s graphic capabilities, Franklin has allocated 200 pages to ActionScript, the internal language of Flash that opens up all the bells and whistles to the developer.For users with some Flash experience who have yet to dive into Flash MX’s new features, there are Flash MX “alerts” scattered throughout. Some are no larger than small sidebars, while others span pages. There are six sections containing a total of 21 chapters, but perhaps the book’s best feature is the set of video tutorials on the CD-ROM. The full-screen tutorials, complete with full color and sound, illustrate many of the concepts in the book; following these is akin to sitting in a classroom listening to a real instructor.It’s important to note that this book covers Flash animation but isn’t written specifically for animators. There is no information here on lip synch, talking characters, or cartoon methods, but the book does cover Flash MX features and development of complex interface design using Flash. The Web animator looking to make cartoons and squeeze the most from the medium might not find what he or she needs, but the developer looking for a solid, well-rounded book on Flash MX will find it here. –Mike Caputo |
